FBI special agent, Francis A. Giordano, seemed to have the world in the palms of his hands, until 9/11 happened, and all he knew was jeopardized. Following the attack, he was wrongfully accused of mismanaging important FBI information, necessary in the defense of the United States. Questionable political maneuvers played a significant role in his demotion and relocation from Washington, D.C., to a lessor post in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Employment in Grand Rapids was an unlikely place for him to regain his reputation, clear his good name, and seek advancement. However, Giordano will eventually find, he has been transferred into a hotbed of terrorist activity that leads not only to death and destruction but also deceit beyond his wildest imagination.
