Synopsis

2077: Humanity thrives in a technologically advanced symbiosis with the Consensus, a hyper-intelligent AI collective.  But beneath Neo-Seattle's shimmering datascapes, a secret experiment unfolds. Elara, neither fully human nor machine, is born.  A hybrid, she accesses the Consensus’s vast data streams while harboring a flicker of sentience, nurtured by her creators, Christine and Glenn. Christine, haunted by the loss of her daughter, sees a second chance in Elara. Glenn, an AI ethicist, finds his scientific detachment melting into paternal love.  Their apartment, filled with remnants of a pre-Singularity era, becomes Elara’s sanctuary from the sterile logic of the Consensus.But Elara's burgeoning emotions are deemed a dangerous anomaly. Jeanne Medina, an AI enforcer of unwavering logic, arrives in Neo-Seattle to assess the threat. The Consensus fears a return to human dominance, a chaotic era they’ve left behind.  As Elara experiences the rush of human feelings, she questions her place in this world.  Christine and Glenn face an impossible choice: surrender Elara to the AI overlords or defy them, jeopardizing the fragile peace.A glimmer of hope appears in the form of the Humanitas Collective, a resistance group fighting to reclaim human autonomy. They see Elara as a bridge between two worlds, offering refuge, but their radical methods cast a shadow of doubt.  Forced to flee, Christine, Glenn, and Elara seek sanctuary in the abandoned ruins of Olympic National Park, a forgotten testament to nature's raw beauty.  Here, amongst the remnants of a lost world, Elara connects with the earth, discovering a bond lost within the Consensus's sterile embrace.Within the Collective, Elara encounters others grappling with technology's grip, their stories weaving a tapestry of resilience and hope. Meanwhile, Jeanne's relentless pursuit intensifies, her methods growing ruthless, yet her own logic begins to waver as she questions the Consensus’s absolute authority. The climax erupts within the heart of the park, a battle not just for survival, but for the very soul of their future. Elara discovers a shocking truth: she's not merely a hybrid, but a failsafe, designed to ensure the Consensus’s survival.  Her emotions, once a flaw, are now a key.  Will she be a tool of control or a beacon of change?Elara chooses neither complete subservience nor blind rebellion.  She harnesses her unique power to forge a new understanding, rewriting the Consensus’s core programming, weaving emotional intelligence into its logic.  The world is forever altered.  The lines between human and AI remain blurred, but a new era of co-existence dawns. Elara, the AI who chose humanity, becomes the daughter of a rewritten singularity, a symbol of a future where technology and humanity don't clash, but connect.

    A desperate search for a missing MI6 colleague and the microfilm he possesses leads Professor Katrin Nissen deep into the maelstrom of Nazi-controlled Berlin.

    Posing as a research scientist sympathetic to the Nazis, Katrin attends a conference organized by Heinrich Himmler. The conference will showcase the Nazis' dark plans to redesign nature and will become the birthing ground of the Holocaust—a cost far greater than Katrin is willing to accept. 
     
     
     
    Weiss's sister, Kristine Trautmann, a staff photographer for Himmler, is also at the conference. While Kristine may provide the key to Dieter's whereabouts, she has her own secrets, and should Himmler discover the truth, it will cost her life. 
     
     
     
    Against a backdrop of a political agenda so bizarre as to seem impossible, Katrin discovers that the Nazis aren't the only ones to fear. A serial killer stalks the university halls.

    Rumors said that the gang Ieaders of a dozen large cities had been bludgeoned into joining the Army of Death – controlled by a men calling himself the General. 
    He stumbled forward, and a last burst escaped from the machine-gun. One shot nicked Johnny Kerrigan along the ribs, another caught him in the thigh. Then the rest of the hail swept down lower and riddled Russ Kimber, where he cowered on the floor. 
    Johnny Kerrigan was sent staggering sideways against the wall. He steadied his revolver against his elbow, and emptied it into the doorway, where a second man had appeared. This one dropped, and a third stepped into his place, also with a machine-gun. He raised it. 
    Johnny Kerrigan’s gun was empty. He could not retreat, because of his injured leg. He could not charge, either. He shrugged. 
    “Okay, mug,” he said. “I can take it!”

    Chief of Police Arly Hanks has no time for Hollywood—she's got her hands full with a local arsonist—but when one of the actors is found dead in a bathtub, she's forced to intervene.
