Murders, bombings and a cryptic message force police detective Gerrit O'Rourke to live Off the Grid for his own survival-and that of the nation. Seven years ago, U.S. Marine Gerrit O'Rourke returned from Iraq after learning of a family tragedy. When a manhunt turns up empty, Gerrit joins that city's police department to find those responsible and bring them to justice-one way or another. Still searching for leads today, Gerrit travels undercover to a European city on what he believes to be a matter of national security. He soon learns, however, nothing is what it appears to be-including what happened seven years ago. Contacted by a mysterious woman, Alena Shapiro, Gerrit discovers his life is in danger because he continues to seek the truth. Confused by Alena's warning and strange events he encountered in Europe, Gerrit returns home where his own world is blown apart. People close to him end up dead. Gerrit and Alena must combine forces with others to live Off The Grid as they try to uncover an international conspiracy that reaches to the highest level of government in several countries. Against seemingly insurmountable odds, they must survive to expose a conspiracy to breach national security. Time is running out-for Gerrit, for Alena...for the world.
