Two estranged brothers are forced to confront their painful past when one becomes a target in an international struggle for control of a powerful new technology. The younger of the two, Alex Treven, is on the verge of making partner in a Silicon Valley high-tech law firm; the older brother, Ben, is an Iraq War veteran stationed in Istanbul as a Military Liaison Element - a deep undercover soldier tasked to quietly 'find, fix, and finish' Global War on Terror targets. Alex and Ben haven't spoken in seven years, but the silence is broken after Alex detects a pattern of violence involving his colleagues... and pointing right at him. When he is attacked in his apartment, he calls Ben. They're assisted by a colleague of Alex's, a beautiful lawyer of Iranian descent named Sarah, who herself becomes a target. The attraction Ben and Alex both feel for her serves to complicate things further, and as Alex and Ben struggle to find out who is coming after them and why, they're forced to examine the causes for their rift, and to make some surprising choices that might bring them closer together... if they survive.
