An unseen threat.
A military deception.
A catastrophe no one sees coming.
Military medic Pocky has been separated from her twin brother Thomas for eight years. But using him as unwitting bait in a military trap wasn't how she imagined they would reunite. Worse, it was her idea-and the lie weighs heavily on her conscience.
Rejected from military service, Lance has spent his life searching for where he belongs. When he joins a research project, he finally finds purpose alongside a team he quickly grows close to. But as strange events unfold, he begins to suspect the military protecting them has another agenda.
When the operation spirals out of control, a cascade of events reveals a mystery far larger than the research project that brought them together.
As impossible choices reshape their lives, one question remains: What if the greatest threat isn't the catastrophe... but the truth behind it?
