Dayna Anderson watches the news break about Hollywood's newest star getting hacked. The former actress turned private investigator barely cares until she discovers her friend Emme sits at the top of the suspect list. Dayna knows Emme didn't do it, even though the tech genius could have pulled it off. She takes the case to protect her friend, diving into the digital underworld of celebrity scandals. Her search for the real hacker leads her onto the set of a major film production. There she uncovers something much worse than stolen photos or leaked messages. Someone died to keep secrets buried, and the movie's massive budget depends on the truth staying hidden. Dayna finds herself caught between powerful studio executives who will destroy anyone threatening their investment. She must navigate the dangerous intersection of technology and old Hollywood money, where fortunes rise and fall on carefully constructed lies.
