Field agent Todd Belknap is cut loose when an operation goes wrong and his best friend is abducted by a militia group. When the government refuses to rescue him or negotiate for his release, Belknap decides to take matters into his own hands. Meanwhile, hedge fund analyst Andrea Bancroft gets a surprising call-she will receive an unexpected bequest if she agrees to sit on the board of the Bancroft family's charitable foundation. Her immediate family estranged many years ago, Andrea is intrigued by the foundation, but it appears less benign the deeper she looks. What exactly is their involvement with the "Genesis"--a mysterious group working to destabilize the geopolitical balance at the risk of millions of lives? As events escalate, Belknap and Bancroft come together in an uneasy alliance to uncover the truth about "Genesis"--before it's too late.
