White House operative Blake Johnson and his British intelligence counterpart, former IRA enforcer Sean Dillon, are deployed to cut through the legal tape and trace the source of the chaos. Their hunt leads them across England, Russia, and Iraq into a deadly game where the rules are rewritten at every turn. As their enemy begins targeting the investigators themselves, Dillon and his team must survive a brutal onslaught of dark suspense and sudden violence.
