Simulated

Jo Rivers is back home in Seattle, but normal life feels impossible after losing the mathematical gift that once defined her. When Prodigy Stealth Solutions offers simulations to help restore her abilities, Jo is pulled back into a world of advanced tech, secret missions, and people who may know more than they say.

After PSS is hacked and sensitive secrets are stolen, Jo receives warnings from a mysterious caller about Kai, who then disappears. Following the trail leads Jo and a team of gifted teens to Tunisia, where they must recover stolen intelligence, navigate dangerous politics, and decide whom to trust while Jo keeps searching for the truth about her gift.

As the mission unfolds, Jo is forced to rely on others more than ever, while a new connection complicates her feelings and loyalties. Simulations, flashbacks, and hidden motives push her toward difficult choices about love, identity, and what it means to keep going without the thing that once made her special.
