Synopsis
A domed society clings to order through routine, hierarchy, and surveillance.
Three strangers, each carrying their own quiet battles, feel a shift ripple through their lives and find themselves drawn into its gravity.
Rune Locke, a soldier who's never been allowed to deploy, sees a chance to finally matter.
Danielle Keyes, a seasoned officer and mother, focuses on family while duty keeps pulling her away.
Rafael Lugo, a man who keeps to himself and stays busy, finds his quiet life beginning to tilt again.
None of them know each other. None of them know what's happening outside of the dome. None of them know things are changing.
But all of them are about to step toward the same truth... one that began long before they arrived, and one the world has already tried to bury.
As tensions rise and the cracks in the dome widen, the lines between loyalty, truth, and survival begin to blur. Each of them will be forced to confront what they believe about the world, about the people they know, and about themselves.
ZERO CODE: DECRYPTING THE SHADOWS
A story about connection, consequence, and the unraveling threads that connect us all.
