Framed
Eric Little is a 22-year-old guy who has always led a simple life. He grew up in a peaceful suburban town and is the type of person who follows the rules, keeps his circle small, and thinks the best in others. He’s not the kind to get engaged in shady circumstances, but one day his world comes crashing down.
Suddenly, Eric gets charged with a serious cybercrime that he did not commit. The tale has been widely reported by the media, which portrays him as a proficient hacker who carried out a significant attack on a company system. However, Eric is clueless as to how he became involved in something so risky. He was framed for the crime by powerful forces and forced into a sinister plot that was beyond of his control.
As the plot develops, Eric’s life turns into a race against the clock to get his name cleared. Realizing that the world is considerably more crooked than he ever thought, he starts to lose faith in everyone around him. He starts to lose his idealistic perspective on the world when people he believed to be friends, allies, and even complete strangers appear to have ulterior motives.
There is more to the conspiracy that surrounds Eric than simply dishonest hackers. Corporate leaders like Finn Calloway, a tech CEO whose company is based on power and data, are affected. Calloway Systems, Calloway’s company, is involved in a cyberwarfare game where manipulation with huge stakes is common. Finn is a man who’s always thinking ahead, and he’s one of the few who knows Eric is innocent, yet he’s forced to play a dangerous game of silence to protect his own empire.
Eric isn’t alone in this fight, though. DK, a laid-back car salesman with a knack for staying under the radar, gets pulled into the mess. Initially reluctant, DK becomes one of the few people willing to help Eric, even if it means risking his own life. He isn’t your conventional hero, but when the system has you locked down, the only way out is through the system’s own cracks.
The deeper Eric digs into the conspiracy, the more he learns that everyone has a price, and the world he thought was fair is anything but. From the media’s portrayal of him as a villain to the criminal figures pulling the strings behind the scenes, Eric’s journey is a harsh wake-up call. Who can he trust when everyone around him is out for something more than just the truth?
