A paranoid techno-thriller about surveillance, government deception, and an analyst's descent into doubt as an unknown threat forces him to question institutional authority.

Will Radford is a top analyst for Homeland Security who tracks potential threats through a mass surveillance program, until one day an attack by an unknown entity leads him to question whether the government is hiding something from him... and from the rest of the world.
