Young FBI agent Odessa Hardwicke’s life is derailed when she’s forced to turn her gun on her partner, Walt Leppo, who turns suddenly, inexplicably violent while apprehending a rampaging murderer. What troubled Odessa isn’t the tragedy itself - it’s the shadowy presence she thought she saw fleeing the deceased agent’s body after his death. Hardwicke accepts a low-level assignment that puts her on the trail of a mysterious figure named John Silence, a man of enormous means who claims to have been alive for centuries.
