Mid-level TV news reporter Elaina Williams dreams of one day sitting behind the anchor desk as a respectable newscaster. Luck turns her way when her ex-girlfriend, Kim, a conspiracy-seeking journalist, tells Elaina the "story of a lifetime." Little does Elaina know how dangerous that story will be.
Samantha "Sam" Kelly served eight years as a Special Forces Communications Sergeant with three deployments into bloody, chaotic combat zones and does her best to forget the horrors. The sudden death of her parents sends Sam home to care for her teenage sister, Rachel. Sam joins the local police force and settles into an ordinary life that doesn't last long. Events rock America's foundation, and its citizens are sent into a tumultuous downward spiral.
Could this be the end of America as we know it? Will there be enough of America left to stand and fight? For Sam and Elaina nothing is certain--except they both find themselves in way over their heads.
