A secret technology, hidden for 80 years. A promise to a dying man. And a deadly chase with the US government for the truth… Leon had been on worse dates.
Leon Aronofsky often suspected there was something going on at work that no one ever wanted to talk about—and it wasn’t just the strangers lurking on the seventh floor, or the meeting room that was always "broken", or even the CEO’s dreadful social skills—but, as a mid-level planner at a London media agency, he was used to being ignored.
Until one night, things take a shocking and potentially life-ending turn after Leon passes out at the office party. He wakes up alone, in the dark, to find he’s not only trapped in the building but that the agency is actually a front for a secret technology project so out of this world that the U.S. Government are suddenly trying to kill him.
When a dying colleague convinces Leon and ex-physicist, Izzy Jones, they must keep the secret safe, it throws them into an unknown, underground world of covert organisations, paid assassins and Silicon Valley billionaires.
Armed with little more than a third-degree hangover—and the vague assurances of Quinn, a shadowy American agent—can they find a way to stay alive? Who can they really trust? And how will they stop the secret from falling into the wrong hands and still make it home in time for Friday night dinner?
