A tense, visceral rescue thriller set against the chaos of war, driven by a former operative's mission to save a civilian while confronting his own traumatic past.

When an aid worker vanishes in the first hours of war in Ukraine, a former Navy SEAL and CIA operative crosses into the shattered country to bring her home-facing mercenaries, shifting battle lines, and ghosts he thought he left behind.
