A disgraced private investigator and an NYPD detective get caught up in a diabolical plot by a group of hackers to shut down the entire power grid of the U.S. This could lead to a complete and utter breakdown of commerce. Banks would no longer be open, ATMs wouldn't work, and debit and credit cards would no longer be of use. Water companies wouldn't be able to deliver water, wastewater treatment plants would stop working. No internet. No social media. Total chaos and anarchy. Digital darkness. And chatter on the dark web indicated that left- and right-wing radical groups would use the situation to create chaos and anarchy in the streets across America.
Racing against time, the two protagonists join forces with a clandestine cybersecurity firm and numerous high-level government officials to either stop the cyber-attack or prepare the country for the dire consequences, risking their lives in the process.
