"In high school, Steve, Paul, Jared, and David were inseparable - growing up together through everyday moments in the school hallways and the familiar neighborhoods of Houston, Texas." But growing up sometimes means growing apart, and their lives took each of them down a different path.
But when David's life is cut short-unexpectedly, tragically-the old friends reconnect in their grief and, soon enough, in their suspicion. Because there's more about his death than meets the eye. If they want closure, they'll have to look for the truth to find it.
When Steve begins to receive emails implicating Malaka Jordan, the medical resident he's fallen for, he enlists the help of Paul, Jared, and their former classmate turned PI Bony Jackson to get to the bottom of Malaka's involvement with David. The more lies they untangle, the more dark secrets are revealed-and even more questions arise.
Their investigation leads Steve and Bony to Cairo, Egypt, where David allegedly died on an archeological assignment, and their search for answers takes a dangerous turn. Amid unexpected alliances and unforeseen deceptions, the men transform from just a troupe of reunited friends to heroes on a quest for something much bigger than themselves.
Stolen artifacts, old prophecies, faceless enemies...They all hold clues to uncovering the ancient mystery David was trying to protect. As Steve and Bony inch ever closer to the truth of what really happened and why, they encounter even deeper truths about the world, mankind, and the importance of finding purpose within the chaos around them-if only it doesn't pull them under first.
