A secret buried for 80 years. A promise to a dying man. And a deadly chase with the US government for the truth... Leon had been on worse dates.
Leon Aronofsky often suspected there was something going on at work that no one ever wanted to talk about-and it wasn't just the strangers lurking on the seventh floor, or the meeting room that was always broken, or even the CEO's dreadful social skills-but, as a mid-level planner at a London media agency, he was used to being ignored.
Until one night, after crashing out at the office party, Leon wakes up alone, in the dark, to find disturbing and unexpected answers, along with a secret technology project so out of this world that the U.S. government are suddenly trying to kill him. When a dying colleague convinces him and ex-physicist, Izzy Jones, they must keep the technology safe, it throws them into an unknown, underground world of secret organisations, paid assassins and Silicon Valley billionaires.
Armed with little more than a third-degree hangover - and the vague assurances of Quinn, a shadowy American agent - can they find a way to stay alive? Who can they really trust? And how will they stop the secret from falling into the wrong hands and still get to his mum's in time for Friday night dinner?
