Since a mental breakdown put him on medical leave from the squad he was once hand-picked to lead, Frank spends his days drinking and chain-smoking, and his nights waking up screaming from a horrific recurring nightmare.
Until one day, by chance, he stumbles on a monstrous plot to kidnap children.
When he shows up at the squad with the wild story, the guys pat him on the back and tell him to go home. But after the mother of one of the missing children commits suicide, he stamps down his demons and, together with the dead woman's sister Rebecca, plunges into the case.
The clues lead to a shadowy cabal lurking behind one of the richest and most powerful Pharma corporations on the planet. When Frank finally unravels the mystery, the truth is more bizarre and deadly than he ever imagined, and telling Rebecca would put her life in danger. Soon even she comes to question his sanity.
The world needs to be warned of the treacherous plot. But can Frank stay alive long enough to find someone to buy his story?
