Vesper Quinn has spent six months planning the one heist everyone says can't be pulled off: the vault beneath Meridian Trust, the last bank in Cassia Bay that's never lost a single file to a thief. She's assembled a crew of specialists — a hacker, a face, a security expert, and an inside contact who's supposedly already turned. Officially, they're after the untraceable fortune and blackmail files locked inside. Unofficially, everyone in the room has a reason of their own for being there — and not all of those reasons are the ones they gave each other. The vault has never fallen. That's about to change. The only question is who actually walks out of it, and who set the trap that's already closing. #oc2026
