NSA Special Agents Elliot Cole and Steven Meyer operate a top secret Government surveillance system (THOMASS), an array of geostationary satellites that records time for playback in the obscure Building D in Manhattan. But there is corruption in the ranks, and the THOMASS secret is at risk. Special Agent Cole’s internal struggles to balance his patriotism with his involvement in surveillance activities which shred the Bill of Rights can be forced into the depths of his nightmares for only so long.

Following the mysterious death of his wife, Lisa, in a car accident, Elliot’s mental battle is brought to the forefront by Detective Allen Price’s relentless pursuit of the truth about THOMASS. Aided by Brenda Durant, a sexy rookie cop who “knows how to get things,” Price is a man driven by his own love of country, and haunted by personal demons he has buried under an addiction to his job. His investigation leads him through the twisted corridors of a top secret government agency charged with protecting America no matter what the cost to Her Ideals. But each discovery that brings him closer to the truth behind Lisa’s death also draws him nearer to his own.

Price’s investigation unravels a calamitous series of discoveries and events that forces Elliot’s paralysis onto a collision course with the overwhelming wrong that THOMASS truly is. But the agents that work in Building D are sworn to The Code: Duty, Country, and National Security, and any break from protocol will lead to immediate termination in a clean, deadly sweep.

Haunted by ghastly nightmares of sinister eyes in the sky, threatened with extinction by professional killers on the government payroll, and spurred by a wounding betrayal he could not have foreseen, Elliot Cole must decide between life and country. Will he remain silent or fight for the truth in the country he loves? The stunning conclusion will leave you gasping for breath and evaluating your own sense of what price must be paid to be truly free under the ever-invading army of surveillance in America.
