Jacob and Megan Brandeis watch their writing careers crumble as New York's publishing world shifts around them. When they decide to investigate The Store, a massive retailer that promises to deliver anything customers want before they even know they want it, they pose as ordinary consumers to get inside. The company's reach extends far beyond simple commerce, anticipating desires with unsettling accuracy. As the couple digs deeper, they uncover secrets that go beyond invasive marketing tactics. Jacob discovers something that puts his life at risk, information so dangerous that The Store will kill to protect it. Now he must find a way to publish their findings while evading the company's surveillance network. The truth about The Store could reshape how Americans live, but only if Jacob can stay alive long enough to tell it.
