The year 2076. The coasts ravaged by rising tides. A nation overwhelmed by refugees. Where widespread poverty and desperation breeds a fertile ground for crime, violence and terrorism. On the other side of a quelled uprising and the precipice of international war, the United States squirms beneath the bootheel of the very institution that once pulled them from the brink: the S3. An institution that will stop at nothing to keep the nation secure from enemies foreign and domestic. Agendas both real and invented. Syndicate Lockdown. A crippling police state that has consumed the nation. Granting the S3 seemingly unlimited power over the American people. Igniting the furor of the populace. And inciting the rise of numerous insurgency groups. Including the New Confederacy of the Innocents. Rising from the ashes of the long-vanquished rebellion from more than a decade ago. The NCI. Having discovered the whereabouts of the S3's deviant experimental R&D Phantom division. Welcomes a new member into their ranks. Phantom's valued former prisoner. Eve. Surrounded by faces old and new. Eve finds herself pulled between loyalties and suspicions. Aspirations and doubt. Her new, perilous existence eerily mirroring her last. Uneasy alliances. Constant danger. Sorrow, misery and fear. Stoked by fire and painted in blood. No escape. No reprieve. Haunted by her nemesis' inscrutable message. "Everything changes. Everything stays the same." As tension mounts, Eve is forced to make difficult and terrible choices. None more troubling than committing to free herself by destroying her enemies once and for all. Even at the ultimate price.
