A high-ranking U.S. official is in his limo on his way to the national Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. when a sudden, vicious and expertly-planned attack throws his motorcade and the city into chaos. Everyone assumes ISIS is behind the attack, but young FBI agent Jennifer Lin has a deep suspicion that this is Russia’s doing. Half a world away, Tom Locke sees the news and suspects that his former employer, global security company Apollo Outcomes might have something to do with it. But why would Apollo orchestrate an attack on US soil? Returning to D.C., Locke discovers that Apollo has fractured, and a rogue unit led by a former colleague he knows well might have planned the attack himself. But Apollo couldn’t have done it alone. There must be a traitor high up in the White House or the NSA leaking information to Apollo. But who is pulling their strings? Is it ISIS, or is this a new ploy by Putin to dismantle the U.S. government and its allies in the free world?
