Synopsis

Going viral was never part of my experiment. When my broke research lab pushes me onto a national talent show for the $800,000 prize, I expect instant humiliation—not overnight internet infamy. Now, every slip, every awkward answer, and every honest nerd moment is trending, and I’m the joke of the season. But quitting isn’t an option—the show slaps me with an impossible penalty, and my jealous rival is gunning for revenge. Trapped between public mockery, cutthroat contestants, and my own social anxiety, I’m forced to improvise my way through a world of spotlights and sabotage. Can a science geek outlast the drama queens—or will I be the first to go down in flames? What happens when the girl who wants out becomes the one America can’t stop watching?
