Your pulse tells the truth. Your silence is the lie.

Eighteen-year-old Alexandria has always known her place: quiet, invisible, obedient. In a world rebuilt by the Twenty-Ninth Amendment—a world that promises stability through total biometric transparency—she clings to the predictability of school lessons, cross-country runs, and the heavy silence of her grandmother's house.

But for an elite athlete at Classical High, "stability" comes with a price: the DPU. A biometric monitor strapped to the hip, the device turns every surge of adrenaline or spike of fear into government data. Alex has mastered the art of the steady pulse, raised in the shadow of the Eastwick legacy—a family that built its name on the very secrets they are paid to redact.

While the state preaches progress, Alex begins to sense that the truths she's been taught don't align with the reality. Fragments of history hidden in plain sight and the uneasy quiet surrounding her family's past leave her questioning whether gratitude is the same thing as freedom. The rhythm she's relied on begins to fracture.

Now, caught between the girl she's supposed to be and a truth she can no longer hide, Alex must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice to break the cycle. Because when the red light on your hip starts to flash, there is nowhere left to run.

In a world where silence is a lie and your own body is a snitch, how do you fight for the truth?
