Logline: A bereaved former spy’s hunt for the terrorists who murdered his wife and daughter uncovers a decades-old secret that leads him to a shocking truth and a high- stakes rescue mission on the high seas.

Set against the volatile and exotic backdrop of the Philippines, this gripping action thriller explores the lengths one man will go to find justice, and the secrets he will uncover along the way. As the nation teeters on the brink of collapse amid political unrest, populist uprisings, and the growing threat of Islamic terrorism, a hidden war is being waged in the shadows.

Three years after a terrorist bombing in London claimed the lives of his wife and daughter, retired CIA operative JOHN GELLER remains consumed by grief and vengeance. His relentless pursuit of Al Qaeda mastermind AMIR AL-AMATI leads him to the Philippines, where he believes the terrorist is hiding. But every lead has gone cold, leaving Geller haunted by nightmares and spiraling into self- destruction.

His search takes an unexpected turn when fate brings him face-to-face with QUENTIN FOBBS, a convicted murderer and disgraced cartographer serving a thirty-year sentence. Fobbs possesses the one piece of information Geller needs — the key to finding al-Amati. But unlocking that secret means unraveling a mystery buried for decades.

When another devastating terrorist attack strikes Manila, eerily reminiscent of the bombing that destroyed Geller’s family, he realizes he may finally be closing in on his target. Joined by his closest friend and ally, KATIE McGRAW, a cultural attaché with the American Embassy, Geller follows a trail of murder, deception, and political intrigue that leads him ever closer to al-Amati and London bomber MOHAMED ATIF.

But his pursuit reveals something far more sinister than a terrorist network. Geller is drawn into a seventy-year-old conspiracy born from the horrors of World War II, one involving wartime atrocities and a fortune in Japanese war gold worth billions.

From the streets of London to Manila and the Philippine jungles, Hong Kong’s vertical metropolis, the corridors of power in Washington, and the South China Sea, Geller’s quest for vengeance becomes a mission of redemption. To honor the memory of his family, bring justice to the fallen, and stop a deadly conspiracy before it claims even more lives, he must confront his demons and the darkest chapters of history, and risk everything in a final, high stakes rescue mission on the high seas.

The price of justice is measured not only in blood, but in the courage to uncover the truth.
