Sam Capra has it all. He works as a skilled CIA operative, loves his wife deeply, and expects their first child soon. Then everything collapses in London. Unknown attackers destroy his life in a single devastating moment. The CIA brands him a traitor. Enemies kidnap his pregnant wife. Sam finds himself completely alone, hunted by his former colleagues and mysterious adversaries alike. Now Sam must track down the people who orchestrated his downfall. He races against time to rescue his wife and unborn child. But Sam discovers that ruining his life was merely the opening move in a much larger conspiracy. The people behind his destruction have bigger plans, and Sam stands as the only person who can stop them. He must abandon everything he once was and transform into something entirely new.
