Overview

Override is a tense, character-driven corporate thriller set inside a high-stakes fintech compliance division. When junior analyst Riley Morgan joins VanguardTech, she expects precision, rules, and clear lines of authority. What she finds instead is a system where ethical harm is quietly managed, not eliminated—and where compliance director Helena Voss exercises dangerous discretion behind an immaculate facade.

As an external audit tightens pressure, Riley uncovers covert interventions that protect vulnerable clients while exposing the company—and those involved—to serious risk. Caught between policy and conscience, obedience and agency, Riley is drawn into Helena’s orbit, where power, morality, and responsibility blur one decision at a time.

Override explores how institutions normalize harm, how “doing the right thing” can become a liability, and how easily good people are pulled across lines they never meant to cross.
