Description

An anonymous letter is sent to the editor at the Daily Californian. Inside is a single sheet of paper with a detailed diagram on how to construct a nuclear bomb. A political writer at The Washington Post receives a coded message from a 'Mr Curly'. 12 hours later, Presidential advisor Frank Curly is found dead from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. In his hotel room is a dead 15-year-old girl. Two men investigating seemingly disparate mysteries on opposite coasts unknowingly share a common bond: the clues to a conspiracy that could reshape the world.
