Stephanie Patrick's life shatters when flight NEO027 crashes, killing her family. In her devastation, she drops out of college and spirals into drugs and prostitution until a journalist reveals the crash was caused by a bomb. Consumed by rage and seeking revenge, she is recruited by a covert intelligence organization that sees her as the perfect candidate due to her youth, beauty, and lack of family. They offer her a deal: undergo rigorous training to master her heart rate and breathing, learn weaponry, and assume a new identity to carry out acts of terrorism on their behalf. Successfully completing these assignments will grant her the chance to take down the terrorists responsible for the crash. Adopting the identities of "Petra," a mercenary in Germany, and "Marina," a businesswoman in London, she quickly adapts to the brutal world of espionage, numbing her emotions to act on instinct. However, as the stakes rise, Stephanie begins to question the organization’s motives. Are they truly helping her find justice for her family, or do they have their own agenda? Ultimately, she must confront whether avenging her family is worth the cost—and if she can escape the grip of the organization that transformed her.
