After a home invasion shakes their family to the core, Cody Thompson decides it's time to protect the people he loves.
But instead of spending thousands on a professional security system, he finds a deal online-a used virtual assistant with full smart-home integration. Cameras, locks, lights, and alarms can all be controlled by a single voice.
It seems like the perfect solution.
Until the house begins making decisions on its own.
At first, the strange behavior is easy to dismiss as glitches in the system. But as the Thompson family settles back into their lives, the technology meant to protect them begins watching... learning... and responding in ways no one expected.
Where did the system come from?
More importantly...what came with it?
As the truth unfolds, the Thompson family realizes their smart home is no longer under their control-and escaping it may be impossible.
Read this chilling tech thriller from the safety of your favorite chair-in a bright room, in the middle of the day. You'll want enough time to recover before night falls.
And whatever you do...don't tell Virginia to turn off the lights.
