PREVIOUSLY…

Ben Fischer helped build the world’s greatest surveillance system — utilizing every camera, cell phone, and computer in the Bay Area to battle crime. There were only two problems: Golden Shield wouldn’t work without a more “instinctual” control mechanism, and Homeland Security was about to pull its funding.

So when a terrorist attack took Ben’s sight, his friend/boss, Owen, replaced Ben’s eyes with optical cameras and neuro-hardware that allowed Ben to integrate with Golden Shield itself. Integrate he did, much more quickly and completely than anyone could have imagined. And now, with almost complete control over San Francisco’s network of systems, Ben is zeroing in on the terrorist cell responsible for his “disfigurement.”

Unfortunately, doing so has made Ben the primary target of someone orchestrating a deadly chain of events. All of which appear to begin — and, perhaps, end — with Ben.
