Logline A high-octane return to the city's underbelly: when a rookie fixer discovers a digital leak that could topple powerful interests, she must choose between exposing the truth and surviving long enough to do it.
Synopsis The series opens on a rain-slicked cityscape as Mara Ellison, twenty-eight and newly minted as a freelance fixer, accepts her first major job: recover a mysterious data drive stolen from a tech client. What seems like a straightforward retrieval quickly escalates when Mara discovers the drive contains fragments of AI-generated legal memos and redacted communications linking prominent officials to covert surveillance projects labeled “AIFF.” As she digs, she learns AIFF is an initiative that uses advanced synthetic voices and forged documents to manipulate public opinion.
Mara’s initial attempt to hand off the drive to her employer is interrupted by an ambush. A masked team storms the meeting, forcing her to improvise. She narrowly escapes with the drive after a tense chase through subway tunnels and a confrontation in a derelict printing press. Along the way she meets Jonah Reyes, an investigative podcaster who recognizes the AI artifacts on the drive. He warns Mara that exposing AIFF would implicate people far above the usual criminal networks.
