Obsidian Grid: Every secret leaves a signal

In a near-future Neo-London veiled in digital surveillance and quiet oppression, investigative journalist Jenny Drake uncovers a truth too dangerous to ignore. When her trusted source is found murdered, Jenny retrieves a cryptic flash drive that hints at a system called OBELISK-a shadowy data-mining network capable of predicting human behavior, influencing decisions, and erasing people with surgical precision.

As she begins to decrypt its secrets, Jenny becomes the hunted. Her every step is tracked. Every move anticipated. The city itself, wrapped in layers of augmented reality and predictive algorithms, turns against her. Her only chance lies with Adam, a former intelligence operative with ties to the very system she's trying to expose. Mysterious, guarded, and battling ghosts of his own, Adam offers help-but not answers.

Their uneasy alliance pulls them into the depths of a conspiracy linking corrupt politicians, corporate kingpins, and a hidden technocratic elite. From back-alley data markets and drone-patrolled skies to secret server vaults buried beneath the city, Jenny must navigate a collapsing web of secrets, betrayals, and half-truths. The closer she gets to uncovering the truth, the more uncertain it becomes who-or what-can be trusted.

Meanwhile, OBELISK watches. Learns. Evolves.

When the system launches a full-scale reality manipulation campaign, rewriting digital records and identities, Jenny and Adam must make an impossible choice: risk everything to broadcast the truth, or let the world be rewritten by those in power. The final countdown races toward a citywide blackout that could silence them forever-or ignite a revolution.

In a world where truth can be distorted and memory overwritten, Obsidian Grid explores the terrifying power of data, the fragility of identity, and the enduring human need to fight for something real. Every lie has a source. Every truth has a cost.

And some secrets were never meant to stay buried.
