Ruins of Cantor Street

In the coastal town of Southport, a predatory hedge fund from Cantor Street uses a local food truck ban as a front to bankrupt small businesses, pushing owners toward ruin and suicide. Haunted by his mentor's death, a former quantitative analyst goes underground, turning the algorithms of destruction against their creators. In a world where everyone is an island sinking alone, he discovers that their isolated tragedies are bound by a single, invisible thread of greed—and that severing it demands not just genius, but sacrifice. This is a Kiersten Modglin-style thriller of psychological suspense, financial warfare, and the fragile hope of rewriting one's destiny.
