In a world where technology can rewrite the human mind, Dr. Richard VanHorne was once hailed as a visionary, creating neural implants that could heal trauma and enhance cognition. But when a devastating fire destroys his lab and takes the life of his wife, Mara, Richard’s grief turns to vengeance. He vanishes into the shadows of Bastion City, emerging years later with a serum that evolves the human brain into something far more dangerous. As the city descends into chaos, Dr. Lena Cross, a dedicated ER doctor, and Detective Ryan Holt, a relentless investigator, find themselves at the heart of a conspiracy that threatens to rewrite humanity itself.

With the help of Marcus Lin, a brilliant but haunted hacker, they must unravel the mystery of the nanovirus that turns ordinary citizens into violent puppets. Their quest leads them to the enigmatic Dr. Elaine Carrington, who holds secrets that could either save or doom them all. As they race against time to stop the virus from spreading, they uncover a plot that goes deeper than they ever imagined—a plot that could change the very fabric of society. “The Control Code” is a gripping tale of betrayal, redemption, and the battle for control in a world where the line between humanity and technology is blurred. Will they stop the virus in time, or will they become its next victims?
