Fractured Ledger

In the rust-belt city of Ironhaven, two childhood friends—a gifted hospital administrator and a ruthless financial strategist—co-found a charitable medical network for the poor. When a federal funding formula is reinterpreted, a hidden ledger of betrayal surfaces. The strategist engineers a deadly scheme of identity-swapped patients and falsified entitlements, turning the hospital into a trap where one friend’s trust becomes the kill switch. A forensic psychologist unpicks the layers of fabricated selves, revealing that the real crime is not fraud, but the erasure of a man’s entire identity by the one person who knew him best.
