After four attacks carried out in successive years, the people of the United States are living in a constant state of fear and panic. The financial markets have crumbled as a result of two of America's blue-chip corporations being caught in the crosshairs. Following a year of non-activity, the public is just starting to regain a sense of security that the attacks have finally come to an end. However, the F.B.I. and Lead Special Investigator Dex Turner know better. They have received a cryptic message more haunting than taunting. Soon, one of the largest cities in the country is targeted with an attack that defies the laws of physics and cripples the infrastructure of an entire metropolitan area. Due to the heroism of first responders, more substantial loss of life is narrowly avoided. But the initial attack is only the beginning. As Turner and his team quickly mobilize, they realize that the death toll could soon add up to be more significant than the prior four attacks combined. They also determine that the perpetrators are hiding in plain sight. Meanwhile, from his lair 8,000 miles away in a secluded mountaintop palace, The Druk responsible watches it all unfold.
