Military investigators arrive at a hospital with shocking news for Special Agent John Puller. His father, a decorated three-star general now battling dementia, stands accused of murdering Puller's mother Jackie thirty years ago. Jackie vanished from Fort Monroe, Virginia when Puller was a boy, leaving behind only questions and grief. Armed with a letter from one of Jackie's friends, the investigators present evidence that threatens to destroy everything Puller believed about his family. Puller teams up with his brother Robert, an Air Force major, and intelligence operative Veronica Knox to uncover the truth. Their investigation leads them back to Fort Monroe and a mysterious building where dark secrets were buried three decades ago. Meanwhile, Paul Rogers begins his own deadly journey. After ten years in prison, Rogers heads to the same Virginia base where his life was shattered and transformed him into something monstrous.
