About the podcast
Our story centers around the company Peace of Ship, an AI-powered SaaS platform that optimizes ship performance and assesses fleets using a proprietary machine-learning algorithm. When a veteran employee mysteriously dies, their new HR Manager discovers that the seemingly ordinary tech company is actually a “front” for a sinister undercover organization. Now, she and the Head of HR are tasked with finding the killer in a corporation riddled with trained assassins.
