At eighteen, Sheila Jean lost her parents to drug traffickers. To protect her three younger siblings she staged a house fire and carried the vendetta alone. Her investigation unearthed powerful enemies; she placed the children in adoptive homes, pretended to be selfish, and hunted the culprits in secret. After vengeance, she joined the force as an undercover agent. Thirty years later, Sheila, now forty-eight, is infamous nationwide while her siblings, prosperous and insulated, publicly despise her. Gill, the third sister, weaponizes brain-computer technology to extract and live-stream Sheila's memories, turning private sacrifice into public spectacle to "judge" her. When Mandy, the second sister, submits to the memory feed to see the past for herself, she confronts the unbearable truths behind Sheila's lies—and the family's fragile fault lines begin to crack.

I kept guessing the villain's identity. Gill streaming memories felt like a moral twist.
