Some betrayals detonate in code. Others explode at ground zero.

Blackout operative Maverick Adams's surf session on Lantern Beach is cut short when an FBI agent blasts into his world, arresting him for crimes he didn't commit. When he learns that his digital fingerprints implicate him in a recent terror attack, he knows someone in his inner circle has set him up.

FBI Special Agent Sheridan Mendez has never failed to bring down a target, and Maverick Adams won't be her first. Fueled by the need for justice after her partner's tragic death and armed with what she believes is irrefutable evidence against Maverick, Sheridan is determined to take him down.

Maverick must prove his innocence. But with gunmen closing in and a shadowy terrorist organization planning another attack, he finds himself entangled in a world of high-stakes deception.

Racing against the clock, Maverick and Sheridan must navigate a web of betrayal . . . one where every ally could be an enemy.
