A hidden number, 60.0%, pulses with an impossible truth, shattering auditor Tempo Adeyize's meticulously ordered world. What begins as a late-night reconciliation of corporate filings spirals into a terrifying revelation: two seemingly unrelated companies, two distinct regulators, yet a single, undeniable thread of ownership. As silver light erupts from her eyes, revealing the invisible obligations binding her city, Tempo realizes she's stumbled upon a system far older and more dangerous than any corporate fraud. Her discovery triggers a cascade of events, silencing a colleague and exposing a hidden archive that should never have been accessed. Now, with a number that refuses to vanish burned into her monitor, Tempo must confront a truth that defies logic and threatens to unravel the very fabric of power. But in a world where debt is a living, breathing entity, can one woman truly recalculate the cost of an empire?
