Agent Heather Slade is a beautiful well-crafted fake. A perfect lie. A highly-trained asset with no country, no memory, and no home. She spies for a secretive group of Revo agents from the democratic Free States and fights against the crushing power of the charismatic authoritarian leader who controls the militant Patriot regions. Risking her life, she infiltrates top levels of the brutal government and lives deeply under cover with her enemies.

When Heather obtains partial intel about a prisoner of war camp from a journalist who dies before revealing the camp's location, she's desperate to know more. Her missing family might be held there. Using a voice-altering device to sound like billionaire donor Martin Slade, she calls President Blockwell, demanding information about the secret camp. It's a risky move that backfires when Blockwell's guards lock Martin in an asylum to torture him for information that could compromise Heather.

HQ suspects that President Blockwell's right-hand man, the ruthless killer Senator Smith, conducts meetings inside his impenetrable mansion. Agent Heather Slade's mission: infiltrate Smith's home and extract secret intel. She devises an operation to throw an exclusive A-list Patriot officers party at the Smith mansion to celebrate his son being drafted into the Patriot Army. Heather leads a small team of spies on the high-risk op, where she schmoozes with her worst enemies while planting surveillance devices under their noses.
