Broken Will

In the gray streets of Ashwick, a catastrophic traffic accident leaves Nolan Huxley paralyzed and entitled to a massive disability payout from Continental Indemnity. Insurance investigator Elara Voss is assigned to a seemingly routine claim, but a flicker of vacant obedience in Nolan’s eyes haunts her. As she peels back layers of medical anomalies and tampered evidence, she stumbles into a hidden architecture of mind control. The victim has been psychologically hollowed out, his very agency erased. After a series of near-fatal “accidents” meant to bury the case, Elara makes a chilling discovery: the mastermind orchestrating this fraud is her own trusted mentor, a fellow investigator who has perfected the art of turning people into living puppets. To survive, Elara must dismantle a system of manipulation designed to extinguish the individual will itself.
