Az amerikai haderők különleges ügynöke, John Puller épphogy tisztázta testvérét a hazaárulás vádja alól, amikor újabb kihívás elé kell néznie. Édesapját, a hadsereg egykor csodált és rettegett parancsnokát ugyanis azzal vádolják, hogy harminc évvel ezelőtt meggyilkolta a feleségét. Az ügynök úgy érzi, kötelessége megvédeni magatehetetlen apja becsületét. Ehhez azonban gyermekkorának legfájdalmasabb emlékeivel kénytelen szembenézni. Választ keres a nyugtalanító kérdésre: volt bármi szerepe az apjának az anyja eltűnésében? Ám nem Puller az egyetlen, aki múltja nyomasztó árnyait kergeti. Paul Rogers tíz börtönben töltött év után kész arra, hogy megbüntesse a felelősöket sorsának alakulásáért. Mindkettejük útja a Fort Monroe katonai bázis Q épületéhez vezet, ahol a kormány egykor szigorúan titkos kísérleteket folytatott. Talán nem véletlen, hogy évekkel ezelőtt egy sorozatgyilkos is ezen a környéken szedte az áldozatait... Ki a rejtélyes szupererővel rendelkező támadó, és milyen munka folyik most az intézményben? Puller lába alatt egyre forróbbá válik a talaj, mert valaki a végsőkig sem fél elmenni azért, hogy sose derüljön ki az igazság.
