When CIA Agent John Giordano is assigned to protect a presidential candidate, Dean Othman, things immediately start to unravel. He starts to believe that a well-organized plot more than forty years in the making has placed a member of a secret society in a position to bankrupt the country. He encounters strong resistance from the agency, until he meets Terry Caruso, an historian and Yale graduate with a doctorate in religious studies. She quickly turns John's circumstances in a completely new direction. He is immersed into a spiritual realm of historical beliefs that are not even partially covered by CIA manuals. Realizing he no longer can count on the system to bring the culprits to justice, and at great risk, John and his team of patriots continue to aggressively pursue the case without CIA approval. In spite of diminishing odds, he forges forward risking his life at every turn.
