London, present day. A pilot program meant to "modernize" the power grid hides a predatory design: scheduled blackouts that cripple small businesses while luxury towers remain untouched.

London, present day. A pilot program meant to "modernize" the power grid hides a predatory design: scheduled blackouts that cripple small businesses while luxury towers remain untouched. When a young sound engineer drowns on a night marked by a strange six-beat cadence, Detective Eve Kavanagh notices what everyone else ignores-a pattern beneath the city's ordinary hum. Six soft ticks. Repeating. Deliberate. Following that sound draws Eve into an urban conspiracy where software signatures are as dangerous as guns, and decisions made in boardrooms can darken entire streets. With the help of a skeptical data analyst, a battle-ready grid engineer, and a coalition of residents who refuse to disappear quietly, Eve uncovers a scheme built on infrastructure, influence, and carefully engineered silence. As the investigation turns public, London itself begins to change. People listen. They document. They ask a question the system was designed to avoid: who gets dimmed, and why? Who Gets Dimmed is a sharp, contemporary urban thriller about power, accountability, and the quiet courage of communities that refuse to stay in the dark. Once you hear the six ticks, you'll never stop listening.
