JIIL 9

Nathan Hughes, a London trader, celebrates his birthday with colleagues before receiving an unusual message from his AI app. What begins as a friendly birthday greeting takes an unsettling turn when Nathan finds himself asked to make a seemingly simple choice — one that will carry chilling consequences.

As he watches from his window that night, a growing sense of dread grips him. Nathan soon finds himself caught in a sinister game in which the power of technology manipulates fate — and his own role in the unfolding events — is darker than he could ever imagine.
