When Ezra Quinn unexpectedly lands his dream job overseas, he soon finds himself living in luxury, but in an unstable country. Alif Zahir, the intelligent and passionate founder at Quinn’s new company, assures him that their initiatives are committed to using the latest technological advances to assist governments in keeping the peace.

The risk-averse Ezra Quinn has a decision to make. Which side truly offers freedom for the people? And is he willing to pay the price?
