Synopsis/Details
Michael Carter, a fearless investigative journalist, discovers evidence that Senator William Hawthorne, one of the most powerful men in Washington, is tied to a massive corruption scandal. What begins as a simple lead quickly spirals into a dangerous web of lies, power, and intimidation.
As Michael digs deeper, he finds himself betrayed by those he once trusted, including his own editor. Anonymous threats start targeting his wife and daughter, forcing him to question whether exposing the truth is worth the cost. The only allies he has left are David, a loyal friend who believes in his mission, and Anna, a skilled hacker who connects him to a hidden whistleblower network.
Pushed into a corner and hunted by men sent to silence him, Michael prepares one final move: release the evidence to the world. His courage sets off a chain reaction that shakes the system and proves that even in the darkest times, truth has a voice.
