Brenda Grant and Daniel Henderson step out for coffee on the morning of September 11th, 2001. Their casual coffee date saves their lives when the Twin Towers collapse, killing Brenda's fiancé and destroying their software company. The two survivors channel their grief into building a new security firm. Beneath the legitimate business, Grant and Henderson create a secret operation dedicated to hunting global terrorists. Their covert mission leads them from Washington DC to Egypt, Italy, and Turkey as they uncover a conspiracy that threatens democracy itself. The terrorists plan to hijack the US presidential election by manipulating voting machines, then export their tactics to topple governments worldwide. Grant must stop this digital coup before it destroys the democratic process across multiple nations.
