A special operations mission in the Gulf of Mexico at a gas and oil platform ends in disaster, leaving Major Jamshid “Jake” Bishop barely alive, washed up on a Cuban beach. Nursed back to health by local villager Maria, a hit team inserts to terminate the lone survivor, but only succeeds in killing Maria’s family.

United in their quest for revenge they leave a trail of blood across the globe from the bullet-riddled streets of Vancouver to a high flying wingsuit chase in the frozen air of Norway to the bone-strewn killing fields of Turcmiristan and beyond.

The trail of conspiracies leads them to a deadly organization founded in the ashes of World War II, now threatening the President and the remnants of democracy itself.

As Jake and Maria race through hails of gunfire amidst the tangled webs of treachery, their pursuit of revenge is overshadowed by the need to neutralize the greater threat of growing fascism, genocides and global domination by a handful of American and Israeli cabalists.

The game is on. The board is stacked against them. The opposition is ruthless, with a never-ending supply of deadly mercenary pawns.
