One madman could change the United States forever, starting with its government. Paige Turner is a hungry reporter. An investigative journalist with her own weekly TV show, she hits well above her weight and is dogged in looking for the people responsible for America’s disturbing new surveillance apparatus.

Paige is charming but can also go toe-to-toe with hard-boiled types. But when Paige receives a package describing a secretive billionaire, known only as the Architect and his plot to install himself as the supreme power of the United States, she may have finally bitten off more than she can chew.

The Architect’s cabal are patching leaks in its ranks, preparing for the execution of the shocking five stages of its leader’s plan. Paige makes rapid preparations to go public with the Architect’s frightening scheme, but when people involved, including those close to her, start winding up dead, she has to confront the fact that whatever she does, the cost may be too high.

The only question now is whether that cost will be paid by her or by the nation and the entire world.
