Erin Plante is a private detective who specializes in chasing down stolen cryptocurrency. In March of 2022, she got the biggest assignment of her career: Hackers had broken into an online game called Axie Infinity and made off with over $600 million worth of digital money.
It was the largest crypto heist in history. And now it was Erin's job to find that money and get it back.
Erin's investigation would lead her to face off against some of the world's most formidable digital money launderers, whose actions would soon raise alarms at the highest levels of government — even threaten the nuclear security of the entire planet.

As far as I am concerned Hackers that steal money or people's information should get an automatic Death Penalty if caught and found guilty. They have ruined a lot of things for people including retirements, etc. and the ones hurt the most are usually not able to recover.
