Time is no longer a distant concept for John Van Laan. It is closing in.

From the quiet shoreline of Grand Haven to the violent corridors of Bellavista Prison in Colombia, forces are quietly set in motion. Manuel is calculating from behind prison walls. Eddie is weighing risk against survival. Money moves through hidden accounts. Plans are whispered in careful conversations. And somewhere in the shadows, a decision is made that will demand irreversible action.

John senses the pressure long before he understands its source. Success has given him wealth and freedom, but it has also made him a target once again. The illusion of safety begins to erode as international threats tighten around him.

As events accelerate, the question is no longer about ambition or power. It is about mortality. It is about what remains when time runs out.
