Thou Shalt Not Go Viral

In Dry Creek, Texas, a shiny plaque outlining the Ten Political Commandments is intended to restore unity but instead ignites a fierce battle for control among the townsfolk. Reese Whitaker, editor of the Dry Creek Ledger, uncovers a web of influencer outrage, smears, and a new system called CivicCalm that masks manipulation under the guise of peace. As Reese and her deputy Owen dig deeper, they find that the pursuit of decency often masks a much darker agenda. This sharp, satirical political thriller explores how narratives are crafted and reveals that those promoting calm may very well be profiting from the chaos.
