Desperate to find her mother, Alina poses as a Sugar Baby in Chicago, seducing CEOs and planting ransomware, where she uncovers clues that lead her closer to the truth. With the help of her parents former handler, Alexi Romanoff, Alina pieces together her mother's covert life as a spy—and ultimately discovers Romanoff's sinister intentions.

Now, as the FBI closes in and danger lurks at every turn, Alina must race against time before the Russian plot plunges the world of artificial intelligence into chaos. Will she uncover the secret of her mother's disappearance? Or will she become the next victim in a deadly game of espionage?
