When her father is killed in Africa by US Special Forces, Snow travels to Los Angeles, determined to find answers and make contact with an underground resistance group called The Rising, a global syndicate of unlikely rebels comprised of ex-military operatives, techies, academics and genetically gifted assassins known as Seers - the people her father had sworn his life to protect.
