Cailan Bane was known as the Death Whisperer when he and his partner Dan Gabriel operated as a hunter-sniper team in Afghanistan. The enemy never saw or heard him. They simply died. But snipers do a lot of waiting, which gave the duo time to dream about starting a video game design company based on their military exploits. After returning to the States, their dream became a reality in the form of Imaginarium, a boutique company with a reputation for putting out military and urban street fighter games renown for their realism. But trouble befalls Imaginarium in the form of a two front battle. While a Boston-based investment company attempts a hostile takeover, someone decides to use the scenarios described in the street fighter games as a model to murder those who escape the justice of the American legal system. When a jet carrying one of the victims is shot down with a fifty-caliber rifle, killing seventeen innocent passengers, the FBI enlists the help of the former sniper team to track the killer, an action that draws the attention of the sociopath. But the killer and investment company make a major mistake when they attack Imaginarium, because it raises the ire of Cailan, and they don't realize when the Death Whisperer goes hunting, even the devil runs for cover.
