Sean King and Michelle Maxwell, former Secret Service agents turned private investigators, are drawn into a dangerous case. Their client is Edgar Roy — a brilliant government intelligence analyst who has been accused of murdering multiple people.
 
Their investigation begins when Roy’s lawyer and King’s old mentor, Ted Bergin, invites them to review the case. But as King and Maxwell make their way to meet him, they discover Bergin has been murdered.
 
As they dig into Roy’s past, they uncover a complex web of deceit, half-truths, and secret government programs. Loyalties are tested, and the more they learn, the more it seems that powerful forces want the truth buried.
