Alice Butler, a shy cryptographer, lands a job at PopCo, a wildly successful—and oddly unsettling—toy company. Her quirky outfits draw attention, but it’s the company’s new project that rattles her: designing a product to exploit teenage girls.
Amidst growing discomfort with her job, Alice receives strange encrypted messages. These codes might connect to her cryptanalyst grandfather, her missing father, a centuries-old manuscript, and the mysterious engraving on her childhood necklace.
As Alice delves deeper, she realizes the secrets she’s uncovering could change everything she thought she knew.
Will she unravel the mystery before PopCo pulls her too far into their game?
