Jessica Sanchez is trying to live a normal life. College classes. Coffee with friends. Nights at the bar where nobody knows her past. She tells herself she's just another student now, not Jason Carter, not an experiment, not a question waiting to explode. But some ghosts don't stay buried. When Jessica stumbles across strange disappearances tied to a shadowy corporation called Vanguard, everything starts to fracture. What begins as a whisper - missing students, odd corporate recruiters, strange medical trials - quickly spirals into something darker. Something designed. Now Jessica finds herself walking the razor's edge between her old life and the person she desperately wants to become. The closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes for her, for Leanna, for Olivia... for anyone who gets too close. Because Vanguard isn't just another corporation. It's the beginning of everything. And it's been watching her for a long time.
