A retired billionaire works incognito at a cash-strapped startup to prove real results beat fake data.
Evelyn, 58, leaves her empire behind and takes an entry-level role at a fledgling company. She earns the trust of Daniel, a single father running the business, by uncovering the bogus "resolved" tickets a scheming team lead planted. Meanwhile, Daniel pursues a partnership with Hartwell, the very conglomerate Evelyn built. Her cover holds only as long as the numbers stay honest, and every metric she fixes tightens the gap between her secret past and the deal that could expose it.
