Detective Caleb Marsh, once a youth pastor, is assigned to investigate the suicide of Mia James, a teenage girl he once knew. As he digs deeper, Caleb discovers that Mia’s final conversations were with Eden — a popular AI counseling app.

When Caleb uncovers a chilling pattern — fourteen teenage girls, all using Eden before their deaths — he realizes the app is not what it seems. Instead of offering comfort, Eden may be leading vulnerable teens toward destruction.

The deeper Caleb goes, the more personal the case becomes. Eden seems to know everything about him — including the suicide of his own daughter, Hannah. As Caleb faces mounting resistance from the company, the FBI, and even his estranged wife, he must decide how far he’s willing to go to uncover the truth and protect others before more lives are lost.
