Beneath the Shine

In a future where control of technology shapes wealth and power, 17-year-old Marguerite's viral video helps propel a populist leader promising "tech for all," placing her at odds with a high school full of technocrat teens. She encounters Percy, a charismatic peer with a mysterious past, and they must navigate suspicion and danger as terrorists strike and leaders are targeted. Together, they face the challenge of safeguarding their families and the future of their country in a world increasingly connected—and vulnerable—through technology.
