Anna takes whatever temp work she can find, even if it means doing paperwork for criminals. The pay covers rent and the work beats corporate jobs in this economy. When she finally lands a decent assignment, a costumed hero crashes the scene and leaves her badly injured among scattered bodies. Then her employer fires her. Broke and barely mobile, Anna turns her rage into research. She builds spreadsheets tracking the collateral damage heroes cause, cataloging injuries and deaths the public never hears about. Her data reveals a pattern that challenges everything people believe about good versus evil. When her research goes viral, one of the world's most dangerous villains offers her a job. Anna accepts and rises through the ranks, weaponizing information against the heroes who nearly killed her. She discovers that social media can reshape public opinion and data can expose the true cost of so called justice. Working for monsters might actually save the world.
