About this audiobook
In Alder Ridge, a mysterious organization called The Franchise revitalizes struggling businesses by promising rapid growth and financial relief. Daniel Hale joins to save his family’s hardware store and fund his mother’s surgery, but soon discovers the system demands total obedience, surveillance, and emotional detachment. As profits soar, the town slowly loses its humanity, becoming data in a larger behavioral experiment. Realizing The Franchise is replicating its control beyond commerce, Daniel rebels by sabotaging its network, triggering widespread instability. In choosing uncertainty over engineered efficiency, he restores the town’s freedom and reminds them that real life cannot be optimized without cost.
