In the year 2039, Grayson Locke is a drifter struggling to survive. During one of his nightly foraging missions after curfew hours in the ongoing climate lockdowns, he stumbles upon a discovery that could change the course of the nation, and the world, forever. In an attempt to make sense of the unfolding chaos amidst a sea of authoritarianism, he sets out to uncover the facts himself, leading him directly to the U.S. Capitol and, before he knows it, right into the target sights of the F.B.I.
Threatened with prison if he refuses or fails to work as an informant, Grayson must befriend and persuade a man the FBI sees as the real national security threat, and someone poised to cause irrevocable damage to the power structure in Washington D.C. and Wall Street. As what's left of the free world disintegrates, Grayson must attempt to work with the stranger who claims to be able to expose the real criminals while working to clear his own name with the Department of Justice. But with much bigger, darker forces at work behind the scenes, will the truth about the global climate crisis ever see the light of day and will Grayson be free again?
