A geopolitical thriller ripped from real-world headlines! The lifeblood of the modern world is at stake as a wave of suspicious blackouts and a Twitter-fed face-off between the presidents of the United States and the Russian Federation edges toward full-scale cyberwarfare, with the electric power grids of both countries the targets. The Middle East and South America have become proxy battlegrounds in a vicious cycle of escalating threats and counter-threats. An unlikely collection of free agents and insiders is press-ganged into solving a geopolitical riddle to work out exit plans, searching for a way out, for scenarios that will de-escalate the threat and allow both sides to save face. They are themselves caught in internal struggles and a race against the clock to find a way forward that will leave the lights on and the world connected.
