A secret department of Homeland Security is recruiting
agents to work undercover in the Middle East and the
director wants his second-in-command, Matt Egan, to bring
aboard his old friend Fade.
He seems perfect for the job. An ex-Navy SEAL, Fade is the
son of Syrian immigrants and speaks perfect Arabic. The
trouble is, he retired after being shot in the back during
an off-the-books mission and still holds a grudge against
the U.S. government for refusing to pay for an
experimental surgery that could have helped him.
Now Fade lives the life of a hermit, waiting for the
bullet lodged near his spine to paralyze him. The last
thing he wants to hear is that his country needs him—least
of all from his ex-best friend Matt Egan, whom he holds
responsible for his condition.
When Homeland Security goes around Egan and tries
to "persuade" Fade to join the team, they inadvertently
start the bloody war that Fade has been waiting years to
fight. A war that the government, with all its resources,
may not be able to win.
The chase is on. Will Egan be able to find his friend-
turned-fugitive before Fade can take the ultimate revenge?
