Six years after Kayda Webster vanishes from Hillsborough County a national security crisis unfolds in Washington DC. Family members of the President's Cabinet are mysteriously abducted. The POTUS turns to the world-renowned forensic sleuth, Dr. Elliott Sumner, who soon discovers the diabolical roots of the bizarre assault run deep in Hillsborough County; they may even be connected to the Burcher family nightmare. Elliott meets with an unlikely whistleblower and travels to Los Cabos for a meeting with Dr. Jack Burcher who has something vital to share, something that will shed light on the DC Assault. Both meet in a cave north of the famous Mexican resort only to be surprised by someone they never expected to see alive. While the POTUS holds off on taking military action to neutralize a national threat, two world renowned forensic sleuths assemble a complex puzzle as they are hunted by a powerful force that lives in a world of perfected illusions. Can Jack Burcher join forces with Elliott Sumner and solve the puzzle in time? Will FBI man Tony Wilcox locate a portal into the belly of the beast before a national disaster? Is Kayda Webster alive and in love, or has she always been the chosen to derail the forensic sleuths so the national nightmare can begin?
