Seven years ago, Leon Prince fled his job on the NYPD after shooting an unarmed man. Now, his life takes another unexpected turn when he discovers that his younger brother, Cory, is wanted for murder.
The FBI’s Domestic Terrorism division is looking for Cory in connection with three shootings in the Washington, D.C. area and they think Leon might be able to help, so they send Special Agent Kathryn Patton to convince him to return to D.C. with her. Leon and Kathryn soon discover that Cory has broken from the Occupy movement in favor of more radical methods, and he’s bent on sparking a revolution by launching a major terrorist attack on the Fourth of July.
Leon has only days to stop his brother and, in the process, probably save his life. He will be stretched to the limit as he faces the fears he’s been running from since leaving the NYPD. And Cory will have to confront his own issues, not the least of which is discovering that the gap between reality and his ideals may be too great to bridge.
