Students walk into Saturday detention at Oakwood High with everything to lose: Sienna, the musical prodigy whose Juilliard audition is a stolen lie; Xavier, the senator's son desperately coping with his family's corrupt financial trail; Talia, the influencer whose spotless feed conceals cutthroat sabotage; Grayson, the hacker who knows too much; and Dominic, the school blackmailer holding all the receipts. When the doors slam shut and a deadly halon gas fills Room 204, Dominic is silenced for good?and the survivors barely crawl out alive.
Before the panic can even subside, their phones chime with an app none of them installed: The Confessional. Controlled by a ruthless cyber-architect who anticipated their every move, the system begins methodically weaponizing their digital footprints, streaming evidence to the student body and framing the remaining four for Dominic's murder. As police swarm the campus and their curated lives collapse in real time, the survivors realize the trap wasn't an accident?it's an execution.
To survive, Sienna, Xavier, Talia, and Grayson must form an uneasy alliance and dismantle the algorithm before their countdown hits zero. But tearing down the Architect's web means confronting the terrifying possibility that the person pulling the strings is someone they trusted all along. In a world where every screen is a surveillance feed and every keystroke is an admission of guilt, they'll have to sacrifice who they pretend to be if they want to survive who they really are.
