When Brooklyn college student Zaya’s older brother is violently kidnapped before her eyes, the world she thought she knew unravels— and is replaced by the treacherous path she must follow in order to bring him home alive. 

Ever since their parents died in the Syrian war, Zaya has relied on her older brother, Ramses, for survival. After all, they immigrated to America with nothing but one another, and he sacrificed everything to make sure she was safe.

But Ramses was keeping a dangerous secret that unbeknownst to Zaya, put them both at risk. A secret that he could very well pay for with his life. 

After he disappears, Zaya immediately springs into action to save her brother. She gathers a team of friends she can trust with the tasks at hand— hacking into top-secret corporate databases, rehab center break-ins, and outsmarting the cops— and pursues the truth at any cost. But as time starts to run out, Zaya must reckon with the fact that even if she sees her brother again, the perfect man she thought he was is lost to her forever.
