They control the code. They control the game. And now, they're coming for him.
Ezra Lockwood, a brilliant but obsessive college student, uncovers a horrifying conspiracy hidden in the depths of the dark web. A shadowy group known as CTRL-ALT has turned manipulation into an art form, pushing vulnerable students into deadly games where survival is never guaranteed. When a classmate's shocking livestreamed suicide sparks Ezra's investigation, he quickly realizes he's playing a much bigger and deadlier game than he ever imagined.
As Ezra digs deeper, his own secrets come to light, revealing connections to his father's mysterious disappearance-a case buried by the same dark forces behind CTRL-ALT. With every step closer to the truth, Ezra's enemies tighten their grip, isolating him, turning friends into traitors, and forcing impossible choices that threaten to destroy the few people he has left.
At the heart of the web lies Redline, the mastermind orchestrating it all-a faceless puppet master who always seems to be one step ahead. To take CTRL-ALT down, Ezra must risk everything: his freedom, his morality, and his own life.
But how far can he go before becoming a pawn in the very system he's trying to destroy?
In this high-stakes cyber-thriller, trust is a weapon, and control is an illusion. Welcome to REDLINE PROTOCOL. The game has already begun.
