Hacked

In a time of escalating political tension, a disgraced journalist and a rogue federal investigator uncover a plot by the President of the United States and his tech donor to hack the U.S. Treasury using a covert team of young coders embedded in federal agencies. As the conspirators push forward with their plan to collapse the system and flee with billions, the journalist races to expose the truth, only to be betrayed by his own editor and nearly silenced. With the country on the brink, justice comes too late—and the world is left to reckon with the fallout.
