La mission « Objectif Zéro » est simple : les dix participants de ce bêtatest ont deux heures pour disparaître des radars. Si, au bout de trente jours, ils ne sont toujours pas repérés, ils empochent trois millions de dollars.
Facile ? C’est compter sans les agents de Fusion, l’une des entreprises les plus innovantes au monde, qui sont lancés à leurs trousses. Drones, algorithmes prédictifs, systèmes de reconnaissance faciale et détecteurs de mouvement… Si Fusion réussit son pari, elle obtiendra l’aval de la CIA pour lancer une application révolutionnaire de surveillance des citoyens.
Kaitlyn, une bibliothécaire en apparence tout à fait banale, a été sélectionnée pour devenir un de ces dix « Zéros », ainsi que Fusion surnomme les concurrents. À quelques minutes du lancement, elle se répète le plan qu’elle a préparé. Il faut que cela marche. Car elle est bien déterminée à remporter la victoire…
