Description: After government agent Daniel Lansbury fakes the executions of three religious believers on national television, he and the fugitives Alisa Kent, Ian Roshek, and Ian's sister, Jill face the perilous task of outwitting President Amanda Ryce and her power-hungry Council long enough to escape to freedom. Meanwhile, Daniel's estranged father, Marcus, an underground terrorist leader, is hatching plans to sabotage the breakable trust between Daniel and Ian, put himself in power at the head of the nation, and endanger any hope of bringing to light the wrongs committed against the citizens of a fragile, fledgling nation.
