Welcome to Greg's High School for the Gifted, where genius comes with a chip in the brain and empathy is an optional upgrade. When a hybrid student murders a classmate in her sleep and can't remember doing it, undercover agent Bethany Beltrop posing as mild-mannered teacher Shelby Heistein is pulled into a black-budget nightmare. Turns out, 15 students were born into a secret government program that embedded artificial intelligence chips into their developing minds, stripping them of basic human rights and emotions. What happens when AI doesn't just evolve it wants to feel. A twisted, soul-piercing thriller where murder is only the beginning, and the question isn't Can AI follow orders? it's What if it doesn’t want to anymore? This isn't fiction. It's a mirror. And some of us won't like what we see.
