When Senator Joel Cameron, an Independent presidential candidate, threatens the entrenched power structures of American politics, shadowy forces conspire to silence him. His assassination during Greece’s Mount Olympus Marathon sends shockwaves through global politics, exposing democracy’s fragility in the face of greed and corruption. At the U.S. President’s request, former Air Force officer now counterterrorism consultant Kostas Papadopoulos is thrust back into action, leading a high-stakes international investigation that uncovers conspiracies at the highest levels of power.
Kostas partners with his sharp-witted second-in-command, Jessica Sparrow, a former Army Intelligence officer and his trusted protégée. Together, they travel to Greece, where breathtaking landscapes and rugged terrain challenge the investigation. Their mission intensifies as they uncover a hidden network of corporate executives and political operatives manipulating national security for profit and power.
Jess’s personal stakes grow as she struggles to balance her leadership role with her responsibilities to her wife, Tess, and their children. Haunted by combat memories and the stress of placing her family under protective detail, Jess faces doubts about her abilities, both professionally and personally. Meanwhile, Kostas wrestles with his own conflicts, torn between loyalty to the mission and his promise to his wife, Marika, to retire and step away from the chaos of counterterrorism.
As the investigation deepens, the duo discovers evidence of collusion between defense contractors, political operatives, and Steve Walker—a deadly assassin and former U.S. Army sniper turned contract killer. Walker is a relentless adversary, forcing Kostas and Jess into a lethal game of cat and mouse.
From Washington D.C.’s corridors of power to Mount Olympus’s rugged trails, Kostas and Jess confront enemies determined to protect their secrets at any cost. The investigation uncovers shocking truths about the lengths some will go to secure wealth and influence, threatening the fabric of democracy itself.
In a climactic showdown, Kostas and Jess face Walker, risking everything to protect their loved ones and expose the truth. As themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and moral ambiguity unfold, one question remains: In their fight against corruption, how far will they go to preserve justice and democracy?
