Two weeks before the first night of 2026, clinical psychologist Dr. Lee Brazil receives an unexpected visit from federal agent Jennings who, several years earlier, had implicated Brazil in what was mistakenly believed to be a terrorist plot. He reminds Brazil that a condition of his release from federal detention might include future service to the FBI. And that future was now.Brazil is asked to pick up a package in London and deliver it to Paris, where he is scheduled to attend a World Health Organization conference. Little does he know, he will be pulled into a greed driven corporate battle to develop a supercomputer that could open the entire universe to colonization; thus raising the question: can science and technology grow without destroying the basic fabric of our society?
