Eminent scientist Dr Ralph Padley is dying - and he knows it's time to finally reveal the truth. Padley has a dark secret, which, if it got out, would have deadly consequences. But there are powerful men who will stop at nothing to silence him.

FBI Special Agent Reilly has an agenda of his own. For months he has sought the man who kidnapped and brainwashed his ten-year-old child. But that man is a ghost - a highly protected CIA official with no name and no identity. Reilly is going to have to break the law if he's going to bring him to justice.

As the stakes get higher, Reilly is framed for murder and now he has to work undercover to seek the truth and protect the family he loves. All the while, Reilly is being watched. He's getting too close to a secret that will shake the country to its core and a conspiracy that reaches up to the highest echelons of power.
