2041. The world runs on probabilities. Quantum computers predict everything, shapinghumanity's every move. But what happens when the impossible occurs? When a leadingastrophysicist freezes to death in his climate-controlled Miami penthouse, the ProbabilityEngine, the infallible system governing all, flags the incident as a level-five anomaly.
Howard McFlynne, a probability analyst haunted by the cold equations of his past, is thrustinto the investigation. Partnered with Raven Garcia, a homicide detective who trusts gutinstinct over algorithms, they must navigate a world where fate itself seems manipulated.Their pursuit leads them through the sterile halls of the Probability Engine headquarters,where its enigmatic architect, Matthew Dalton, insists the system is flawless. Yet, a secondimpossible death–a concert pianist spontaneously combusting on stage–ignites publicpanic and whispers of sabotage.
A clandestine group known as the Causal Liberation Front, led by the charismatic Elias Thorne, emerges from the shadows, claiming the Engine has imprisoned humanity in a cageof predetermined outcomes. Thorne's seductive philosophy challenges McFlynne's corebeliefs, forcing him to question the very nature of free will. As McFlynne delves deeper, heuncovers the Pandora Protocol, a hidden layer within the Engine capable of rewritingreality. The killer isn't just exploiting the system; they're playing God with probability itself,turning each victim into a pawn in a terrifying game.
