Robert Clayton Dean, a labor lawyer in Washington, D.C., unknowingly receives video evidence of a politically motivated assassination. The murder was orchestrated by corrupt National Security Agency (NSA) official Thomas Reynolds, who is desperate to retrieve the evidence and cover up his crime. Unaware of the video’s significance, Dean becomes the target of Reynolds’ advanced surveillance and ruthless team of operatives who employ high-tech methods to track and discredit him. As Dean’s life is systematically dismantled, all his professional and personal relationships are destroyed, leaving him isolated and under constant pursuit.

With nowhere to turn, Dean seeks help from a reclusive surveillance expert, Edward Lyle, living off the grid. Lyle is reluctant but eventually agrees to aid Dean. Together they navigate a hidden world of espionage, as Dean learns the extent to which his privacy has been invaded. The pair must carefully dodge omnipresent surveillance and execute a plan to expose the truth and reclaim Dean’s life, while staying ahead of Reynolds' operatives determined to silence them.
