Rachel Farrell is working from home in suburban Virginia when the internet goes out. Juggling clients, two restless teenagers, and dinner logistics with her husband, Caleb, a DC lobbyist, she assumes it’s just a routine inconvenience.
Then she finds his note, warning they are in danger and not to trust anyone.
When FBI agents show up looking for Caleb, Rachel realizes something far more sinister is underway: a nationwide communications outage, and Caleb’s biggest client—a powerful Chinese semiconductor company—is at the center of suspicion.
As the night wears on with no word from Caleb, Rachel’s unease shifts into something darker. The man she has been married to for two decades may not be who she thought he was. Fearing for their safety, Rachel and her children embark on a harrowing cross-country journey to find Caleb and hear his explanation. But the more she learns, the more she suspects he may be in on the plot.
Following the clues to a remote compound in South Dakota, Rachel begins to piece together the truth about her husband, his business dealings, and a conspiracy that reaches far beyond anything she ever imagined.
In the end, Rachel has no choice but to uncover who is really behind the outage before it costs her everything.
