A high-octane action thriller built on betrayal and conspiracy, where a U.S. Marshal must protect a witness while navigating treachery within his own ranks.

John "The Eraser" Kruger is the top gun in the US Marshall Witness Protection Program; he protects witnesses by erasing their pasts. His latest assignment is whistle-blower Dr. Lee Cullen, who has evidence that her employer, a major arms corporation, is entangled in a conspiracy involving a high-tech railgun, but there is danger lurking closer to home for Kruger, from within his own department.
