Claimed

In a near-future America where "protection" has become the new face of possession, single mother Nia Marshall is forced to make an impossible choice: surrender guardianship of her children to a white suburban family-or risk losing them to the state altogether.

What begins as a temporary arrangement to keep her sons safe slowly becomes a suffocating system of control, erasure, and surveillance. Her name disappears from records. Her children are renamed. Her autonomy-digitally and legally-revoked.

But Nia isn't the only one living under the clause.

As her eldest son Malik quietly builds a digital resistance and secrets begin to leak into the open, the truth behind the nation's "Family Asset Protection Act" threatens to unravel.

CLAIMED is a haunting, incisive tale of modern-day ownership masquerading as safety, where the most dangerous prisons come wrapped in politeness, and the fight for freedom begins with remembering who you are-and daring to speak it out loud.
