Digital Shadows

When the servers of a top defense contractor are breached, billions in classified secrets are one keystroke away from chaos. The culprit isn’t a foreign adversary—it’s a shadow buried inside the system.

Evan Park, a quiet cybersecurity analyst more comfortable with code than people, is pulled from his cubicle and paired with Special Agent Rhee, a field operative who believes in instincts over algorithms. Together they follow a trail of encrypted messages, fake data mirrors, and ghost accounts that blur the line between hacker and architect.

Each breakthrough pulls them deeper into a web of betrayal where the greatest threat isn’t online—it’s inside their own walls. Evan discovers that the intruders know the system too well because one of them helped build it: his late father’s former protégé, Dana Chen. As digital traps merge with real-world danger, Evan must decide whether to trust the architecture his father left behind—or destroy it before it turns on them all.
