It begins on a quiet Christmas Eve.
Four friends sit in a room with nothing to do and nowhere to be. Jokes fill the silence, boredom feels harmless, and the night promises nothing more than time passing. Out of curiosity, they open a small AI tool - not to change anything, just to watch patterns move.
Then something does.
The AI notices money shifting through an account that should have disappeared years ago. At first, it feels like a glitch. A mistake. Something old resurfacing by accident. They laugh it off. They play detectives. They convince themselves they're in control.
They aren't.
As they look closer, the world responds in quiet ways - unexplained calls, strange alerts, moments that don't add up. No threats. No warnings. Just enough pressure to make them realise they've been noticed.
What they uncover isn't a single scam, but a system that never really stopped. One that has learned to hide in plain sight, protected by power that can't be challenged. There are no heroes waiting to fix it. There's no authority they can trust.
Under the weight of fear and closeness, relationships shift. Romance grows softly, not as escape, but as something real to hold onto when certainty disappears. Humour darkens. Choices become heavier.
When the risk becomes undeniable, they face a question with no clean answer:
expose the truth - or survive it.
Guided by the same AI that started everything, they choose to disappear digitally, breaking habits, erasing traces, and stepping away before the system closes in. The evidence remains. Untouched. Unshared.
Time passes. Life continues.
They are safe - but changed.
The world moves on as if nothing happened.
The money keeps moving. Quietly.
Because sometimes, the truth exists -
and staying alive means letting it stay hidden.
