Zeb Carter and his team have targets painted on their backs even before they arrive in Australia and New Zealand. Failure isn't an option for them. For their enemies, killing Zeb is the only option.
Australia and New Zealand are under attack.
Mysterious organized criminal gangs are stealing from their mines. Their internet, government and large private institutions are continually being cyber-attacked. Their economies are tanking. The social media in the two countries are filled with bots that are sowing mistrust and fueling civil unrest, riots and lone-shooter killings.
Their Western allies and NATO are worried. Are Russia or China behind these acts? Is it Iran or some rogue nation?
Whoever it is, they have to act fast otherwise the two countries could implode which could forever alter the world's geo-political balance.
It is not an assignment Zeb and his team would take up. They are in the country however, on vacation, and they get greenlighted.
And then the mining truck crushes Zeb's ride, with him in it.
