The story takes place in early 2008. It is a
time of great political unrest; people are living
in constant fear of terrorist attack and are looking
to the world leaders to take action. Suspicion
of local government runs high and conspiracy rumours
abound.
Mitchell Webb, CEO of IDSys, and his long-term
friend Simon Rockwell are on the brink of securing
a contract from Her Majesty’s Government
for the design, manufacture and supply of Radio
Frequency Identification Devices (RFIDs) for the
protection of the British Public against terrorist
attack. It would be the biggest deal in their
company’s relatively short history.
Shortly after being awarded the contract, there
is a horrendous terrorist attack on one of England’s
most famous landmarks and the Government passes
legislation for the compulsory introduction of
RFIDs, bringing about a series of events that
draw Mitch and his colleagues into the biggest
conspiracy in history. Little by little, they
uncover some unsettling information that makes
them question the real motives behind the introduction
of RFIDs.
The friends soon find themselves in a deadly
race against time, facing a powerful and ruthless
enemy, culminating in an astonishing discovery
about the very origins of life on Earth.
