NOTHING IS FREE

SHAE is a people person. As Head of HR, she’s given her life to her company. And in exchange, she’s been given a family, a career path, and all the luxury perks of a booming tech sector.

But when the market crashes and rapacious investor, ELLSIE, arrives for restructuring, Shae’s life is restructured in the process.

Lacking hard skills needed in the new economy, Shae learns she’s not as valuable as she thought. But Ellsie disagrees. In fact, she could really use a dedicated person to deal with all the…people. So when she finds Shae at her lowest, Ellsie spots a distressed asset opportunity. And offers to invest in her. Literally.

With Ellsie’s backing, Shae rises quickly…even as she descends into a dark financialized world with a terrifying understanding of human value.
