Seventeen-year-old Kole Danvers is plunged into the world of PAAC-the Pacific Acting Authority Council. He must navigate grueling training sessions and rescue missions as he steps into the role of second-in-command in an active unit of five soldiers designed to neutralize threats. Kole must conform and do what is asked of him-failing to do so will result in the members of his unit being cut from the program and left with nowhere to go. But, as he builds new relationships, challenges himself, and navigates the world from inside the PAAC compound, he realizes that there are questions left unanswered. When he begins to receive flashes of his previous life, he realizes that within the white walls of the compound, there is a darkness and not everything is as it seems.
