Synopsis:

Alone in a new city and desperate for money, reformed hacker Penelope Ruiz becomes a Web Cleaner at the world’s biggest social media company, Friends Connect. She and her new colleagues spend their waking lives cleaning the internet of child abuse, assault, murder, terrorism... all unknowingly deep in a trap laid by executive Andrew Brown, who selected each of them for their own unique trauma, and who has hijacked the Web Cleaning programme for his own secret Project: a Project to explore how Artificial Intelligence and trauma can manipulate and control. As Andrew’s Project grows, he manages to implant a false memory into Penelope’s mind: a memory of her murdering her lover — Friends Connect therapist and Andrew’s secret Project partner, Martin Harris. Andrew blackmails Penelope into working for him. He now controls not just Penelope, but also her extraordinary coding and hacking skills, which he plans to use to manipulate and control the world.
