Jack's childhood friend Weezy Connell has pieced together something dangerous. The brilliant researcher posts her findings about September 11th anonymously online, but her conclusions go far beyond the standard conspiracy theories. Someone wants her silenced. Jack gets pulled into her troubles and finds himself navigating the paranoid world of 9/11 truthers, where every theory points in a different direction. All of them miss the mark. The real story behind that September morning is far more sinister than hijacked planes or government plots. A man in a boat watched the towers burn and pressed a button on a small device, part of a scheme thousands of years in the making. The truth connects to the cosmic shadow war that has already drafted Jack as an unwilling soldier. If this ancient conspiracy succeeds, it will transform life on Earth forever. Jack must protect Weezy while unraveling a plot that makes every other explanation look simple.
