You can thank the government that you never had polio, smallpox, or the swine flu. You can thank the government for protecting your health through its policies and laws. You can thank the government for abating your fears of epidemics and pandemics. But if you think your only fear of being inoculated against the flu or vaccinated against disease is becoming infected, then think again. The real fear is trading your freedom for your health without your knowledge. For President Jonathan Whitaker and his Chief of Staff Scott Norwood there is no fear, for they hold an unthinkable power only once held by God. For Deputy Director of Directorate of Science and Technology Jorja Carson and her colleague Greg Manoski, their deepest fears are becoming reality. As they traverse the common threads between an act of terrorism, a child abduction, and the murder of a senator's wife, they uncover the technological source of these godlike powers hidden deep within the bowels of Langley in a revelation that could mean the end of a presidency, the end of a government, and the end of America.
