My name is Grant Cogar. The world thinks I'm dead. I'm not sure they're wrong. July 2013. Foreign correspondent Grant Cogar has gone missing and is presumed dead. His last known whereabouts: Aleppo, Syria. Another casualty lost to a brutal civil war already responsible for claiming over 100,000 lives. But when an anonymous message reaches Cogar's editor with news of the reporter's survival, his old friend and mentor decides to retrieve him. Only, Cogar doesn't want to be saved.
