Synopsis

A routine surgery should never become a death sentence.
But when a twenty-one-year-old college basketball star dies after an Al surgical system locks doctors out of manual control, the tragedy turns into something far more disturbing.
Five patients. Five states. Five deaths. All linked to Neurolink Care Systems, a fast-growing network of hospitals where Al controls everything from diagnosis and anesthesia to insurance approval.
FBI Special Agent Rachel Stone teams up with cybersecurity specialist Maria Lopez and former investigator Tasha Carter. Their probe exposes a vast empire, Apex Sovereign Group, con-trolling hospitals, insurance, pharmaceuticals, robotics, medical devices, and patient data.
Inside its hospitals, Tasha finds a system that is efficient but almost free of human judgment, where patients can be dela-yed, denied, and manipulated by algorithms they cannot question.
Then the deaths escalate. Board members and powerful figu-res die in autonomous-vehicle crashes, mechanical failures, and precision drone strikes. These are no accidents, Someone is using technology to kill.
Even after the FBI closes the case, one question remains:
Who is really in control?
Because the greatest threat may not be artificial intelligence. It may be the human who controls it.
