A sinister organization has burst out of nowhere, their roots forged in old Russia, but with a modernized ideology and global aspirations. Violence and destruction are unleashed, plunging the world into disarray and revealing powerful connections. Those in the intelligence community scramble to catch up, as some of their own were unveiled as sympathizers.

With moves shrouded in secrecy and few they can trust, a small team races against the clock to stop the terrorists from imposing a twisted new world order. Franklin Holt, a former mobster seeking redemption but craving revenge for his ex-wife's murder, teams up with two federal agents and a tech whiz as the body count rises and stakes escalate. But a new assault on a summit in Budapest upends their efforts, leaving many world experts dead and others on the run.

A cat-and-mouse chase ensues across Europe, the halls of power in Washington, DC, and the Badlands of South Dakota as Franklin and the team unravel the conspiracy, discover shocking twists and devastating betrayals, and pursue justice. The only way to win is to go all in, and Franklin knows he has to decide what he’s truly fighting for. Will they save the lives of everyone they know—and perhaps Franklin’s soul? Or will the world as they know it be forever changed?
