In a world where cruelty trends and chaos goes viral, a charming sociopath discovers that fame doesn’t cure darkness—it amplifies it.
When his own bad behavior makes him a hero online, he faces an impossible choice: feed the machine that made him, or turn his weaponized charm against it to protect the only people who make him want to change.
In this World…
