Cache

She accounted for every variable. Except you. Esme Yarbrough is a data analyst who finds comfort in numbers, spreadsheets, and predictable patterns. Her quiet life shatters when she is assigned to run a standard audit on the laptop of a recently fired colleague, Nolan Royce. Hidden deep within the hard drive is a chilling cache of 847 screenshots documenting the digital life, financial records, and escape plans of Nolan's wife, Calista. It's a devastating trail of domestic surveillance. It's also deeply personal. Calista recently befriended Esme, only to vanish without a trace three days before Nolan was fired. As Esme digs into the metadata, she uncovers a terrifying narrative of fear and desperation. But data can be manipulated. As anomalies in the timestamps emerge, Esme realizes the cache is too perfect. It wasn't just left behind—it was meticulously constructed, timestamped, and planted for a forensic analyst to find. Calista isn't just a victim; she is the master architect of a brilliant, illegal, and devastating system of revenge. And Esme realizes she is merely a gear in Calista's machine. Caught between a framed husband, a missing wife living under a new identity, and the digital breadcrumbs she was forced to follow, Esme must decide whether to expose the truth or let the perfect crime run its course.
