Three coworkers navigate the intricacies of friendship and love while dealing with artificial intelligence in cybersecurity.

Alida and Trent were neighbors. They also worked together at Adaptive Cybersecurity Experts (ACE). Trent wasn’t looking for a girlfriend. Alida didn’t think Trent was her type. That didn’t stop them from becoming friends.

Carmen was Alida’s team leader at ACE. She found Trent intriguing. Alida did her best to discourage Trent from dating Carmen. It wasn’t until Trent asked Carmen out did relationships get complicated.

When one of ACE’s clients had a security breach, Carmen, Alida, and Trent got assigned to the account. Their successful actions created a significant opportunity for ACE. One that included the federal government. It also created a moral dilemma. Caught between the promise of getting rich and doing the right thing, Alida, Carmen, and Trent had a decision to make.
