Nick Burke is the lead operative for a shadowy organization tasked with proactively defending the innocent, the helpless, and the powerless in a world where truth and justice are both fleeting and elusive.


In the hills of southwest Virginia, curious young men and women who have responded to an internet advertisement seeking new models of all kinds are giving in to temptation, chasing the lure of the easy money and instant fame of the entertainment industry, all under the watchful eye and careful guidance of Lucien Murdoc, the charismatic producer and on-screen performer who takes his orders from Daniel Staal, the creator of Brann Cinema and brash child of privilege who regards his stars and starlets as property.


When Nick and his team of operatives are suddenly drawn into the conflict, they discover a shocking connection between Daniel Staal, the dark underworld of human trafficking, and a series of crimes fifteen years in the past, leading to a breathtaking finale that explores the inescapable nature of fate and the masked reality of the fallen world in which we all live.
