On a remote island outside Charleston, South Carolina, David Stoneman is being held prisoner in one of the country’s most exclusive hotels. Facing his inevitable fate, David discovers that his unexpected trip to the Carolina coast was part of an elaborate plan orchestrated by a secretive group of puppet masters with nefarious intentions.
At the same time, Bailey Thompson, the new legal counsel of a fast-growing Atlanta company, finds that she, too, was lured to the private island under false pretenses by her power-hungry boss and his unsettling mystery guest.
With a deadly hurricane bearing down on them, David and Bailey must contend with a short-tempered FBI agent hot on their heels, a local judge with a dark family secret, and elite military operators hunting them, as they attempt to infiltrate one of the most powerful organizations in the world – the Cohort.
David Stoneman was a rising star at one of Washington, D.C.’s most prestigious law firms until the firm’s conniving managing partner abruptly derailed his plans. Thereafter, allying with a mother who tragically lost her son and a desperate Southern Baptist minister, David unwittingly uncovers a government secret buried by a ruthless politician who will stop at nothing to protect his new legislation, the Division Act.
The clock is ticking, and David must use his most powerful weapon – his mind – to outsmart his former boss, outmaneuver a team of highly-trained killers, and outlast a sitting United States Senator, before it’s too late.
