Reroute

"It's probably nothing." That's what Sebastián Reyes tells himself when a routine algorithm audit at Harlan Logistics Solutions reveals a hidden classification buried deep inside the company's routing system-one that shouldn't exist. Cal Mabry has spent his life learning the cost of noticing dangerous things. Laid off, burned once before for exposing corporate corruption, and determined to survive quietly this time, Cal should walk away when Sebastián sends him a file that doesn't add up. But the deeper they dig, the clearer the truth becomes: Harlan's logistics empire may be hiding something far darker than financial fraud-an unlisted federal program moving human lives through invisible corridors no one is supposed to see. As surveillance tightens, secrets multiply, and the line between caution and complicity begins to vanish, Cal and Sebastián are forced into a perilous alliance that becomes something neither of them planned. Between encrypted files, shadow contracts, and the growing threat of powerful people who protect systems built to stay hidden, two men must decide what they're willing to risk-for the truth, for justice, and for each other. In this razor-sharp queer survival thriller set against the gray sprawl of the American Midwest, Reroute blends corporate suspense, whistleblower danger, slow-burn romance, and emotional intimacy into a gripping story about what happens when doing the right thing could cost everything. When the system is designed to erase people, can two men expose it before they become its next casualties?
