Ten years ago, in the most dramatic missing-person case in American history, fourteen-year-old Suzanne Lombard, the daughter of Benjamin Lombard, a senator at the time and now a formidable vice president seeking the presidency, vanished from sight. The mystery is still unresolved and continues to be a national preoccupation.
Gibson Vaughn, a renowned hacker and marine, is personally invested in the case since he considered Suzanne Lombard to be a sister. With fresh information in hand, the former head of Benjamin Lombard's security requests Gibson's assistance in a clandestine probe of the case on the tenth anniversary of her abduction.
He is eager to find out what really occurred all those years ago since he is plagued by terrible recollections. He quickly uncovers many Lombard family plots using his military and technological abilities, and he comes against strong, cunning political figures who would stop at nothing to silence him and his group. Gibson has to keep one step ahead of the game as he weaves a treacherous web to uncover the truth since fresh evidence is emerging that may jeopardise Lombard's presidential campaign.
