After confiding her theory to his best friends, he finds one of them dead after police raid his home, while the other heads out with Jordan on the lam. Not knowing what to believe, he turns to a stranger with a criminal past and a compelling reason to follow she knows about his wife, about the journal, and the truth about the water. They lie. We die. But the revolution is coming. **Adult language and content.
