She wants answers—and justice.

Jaia knows her brother was murdered on a contracting job overseas, and that the company they work for covered it up. She just can't prove it—yet. But she's been quietly searching, gathering evidence and building her case at great personal risk. When she learns that the company is about to target another innocent man because of what he knows, she intervenes, risking it all to warn him and steal secret company files. Now there's no safe place for her. Not knowing who else to trust, she flees and turns to the stranger she saved—hoping it won't cost her life.

Their search for the truth could get them killed.

Air National Guard Pararescueman Brandon Whitaker nearly died after being captured by the enemy during a mission in Yemen. The things he learned about atrocities allegedly committed by American contractors there continue to haunt him. When no one seems interested in finding the truth, he starts digging on his own—and discovers a cover-up. When a phone call from a stranger alerts him that he's in imminent danger, it triggers an irreversible chain reaction. On the run while trying to track down the woman who warned him, their paths suddenly collide. He doesn't know if he can trust her, but now it's the two of them against the shadowy forces tracking their every move. Only together can he and Jaia uncover the truth and expose the people responsible. But with trained killers on their tail, it's all they can do to stay alive.
