A delivery driver exploits death-vision to conquer LA's power structure.

Zion Reed has nothing but a bike and bad luck until a collision rewires his perception. Suddenly every stranger wears three numbers: days left, secret net worth, and the luck heading their way. He reads the room like a ledger, flipping micro-jobs into leverage and leverage into authority. Rivals who dismissed him scramble as he anticipates betrayals before they form. The city's hidden hierarchies bend toward the man who knows exactly when to push and when to wait.
