After their daring attack on Kuala Lumpur’s Petronas Towers, they become prime targets of W.A. Rathbone, a ruthless CEO determined to erase them. Their escape across Asia is filled with danger, betrayal, and moments of moral reckoning. Meanwhile, on the distant Haida Gwaii islands, a young girl named Raven discovers that her homeland is threatened by the same corporate machine. When Jen and Jo’s mission collides with Raven’s world, the struggle for justice transforms into a battle for humanity’s survival.
