A hidden network begins under the floor, one job at a time.
Arby Riswell is an aging master installer with a secret woven into his kneepads and carpet pad—a hidden network that changes how power moves under people’s feet. What begins as craftsmanship turns into a larger game of corridors, pressure, and buried systems no one above the floor can see.
Arby Riswell has spent a lifetime reading the truth beneath polished surfaces. He knows when a room is lying, when a seam is about to fail, and when the work under people’s feet matters more than anyone realizes.
What begins as a tribute to an old master becomes the first step into something far larger: a hidden network buried beneath stages, corridors, halls, and grand rooms across the world.
Each job demands more than skill.
Each floor carries a deeper pattern.
And every step pulls Arby closer to a system built on secrecy, pressure, and power.
Under Every Step is blue-collar suspense built from craftsmanship, hidden structures, and the dangerous truths buried beneath the surface.
