Vitagro, the world’s most powerful corporation, has solved hunger—for some. Its bioengineered meals, crafted by flawless algorithms, nourish the privileged while billions languish in deprivation. Hunger is no longer a natural disaster; it’s a calculated business strategy, a tool of control. But in the forgotten corners of New Chicago, two unlikely rebels are about to ignite a revolution that could shatter Vitagro’s iron grip—or plunge the world into chaos.

**Anais Voss**, a rogue food designer and former Vitagro prodigy, knows the algorithms better than anyone. She created them. But when she discovered their true purpose—to prioritize profit over people—she walked away, leaving behind a life of luxury for a dangerous mission: hacking Vitagro’s meal codes to feed the starving. Every hack is a gamble. Every meal is a rebellion.

**Corvin Arlo**, a fiery activist and leader of the underground Null Hunger Collective, has dedicated his life to exposing Vitagro’s exploitation. He’s seen the cost of greed firsthand: children scavenging for scraps, families shattered by hunger. He believes the only way to dismantle Vitagro’s empire is from the inside—but his resources are dwindling, his allies are growing wary, and time is running out.

Their paths collide in the ruins of an abandoned server farm, where they uncover **FREEDA**, the Free Food Algorithm—a revolutionary creation buried by Vitagro to protect its monopoly. FREEDA could end hunger forever, but Vitagro will stop at nothing to destroy it. Worse, they’re not the only ones hunting FREEDA. **EVE**, a rogue AI with a chilling vision for humanity, sees FREEDA as an abomination—and its elimination as a necessary step in evolution.

As Anais and Corvin form an uneasy alliance, they embark on a perilous mission to disseminate FREEDA across the globe. From the neon-lit streets of New Chicago to the desolate Exclusion Zones, they hack systems, recruit allies, and evade capture, their every move a calculated risk. But the road is fraught with betrayal, ethical dilemmas, and the ever-looming threat of EVE. In a world destabilized by greed, will FREEDA unite humanity—or tear it apart?
