In a world teetering on the brink of a global energy crisis, a seemingly innocuous electricity meter becomes the focal point of an international conspiracy. When a Lithuanian technician discovers anomalous readings on a new smart meter, he stumbles upon a hidden network of data manipulation orchestrated by a shadowy organization known only as 'The Octopush'. This group, operating from the shadows of both the Pentagon and the European Union, seeks to control global energy distribution for their own nefarious purposes. Our protagonist, a humble technician named Temide, finds himself thrust into a dangerous game of cat and mouse, forced to navigate a treacherous landscape of political intrigue, technological warfare, and the ever-present threat of a 'default panic' that could plunge the world into darkness. With the weight of the world on his shoulders, Temide must expose The Octopush before their plan to manipulate energy markets and destabilize nations comes to fruition.
