When he receives a cryptic message .“I know what you did”—he is thrust into a psychological game that threatens to unravel everything he has built. The message brings back memories of Andrew Cole, a former rival whose tech startup Dominic crushed in his ruthless climb to the top.

His corporate deals start to collapse, his closest confidants turn against him, and strange occurrences lead him to question who he can trust even his wife, Alyssa, and his most loyal employees.The deeper Dominic falls into this web of paranoia and fear, the more he realizes that the threats against him are not just external. The guilt from his past actions begins to eat away at his mind, slowly eroding the steely confidence that once defined him. The higher he climbed, the further he has to fall, and now, as his enemies close in.
