Synopsis
Raven doesn't officially exist.
His ragtag team thwarted an EMP attack by terrorists with Iranian nukes but paid a terrible price. Everyone on the team was badly injured. A peaceful neighborhood was left in flames. People are demanding explanations, but what doesn't exist can't be explained or defended. Politically it is easier to deny covert agents than support them.
The few who know what happened dare not say how close America came to Armageddon. An EMP attack would have killed at least 70% in major cities. Publicizing the extent of our vulnerability would create panic. Raven's partner Josie, a gentle psychic with exceptional powers, is catatonic. Her mind shut down from the trauma of red, raw combat. She is gone along with their dreams of someday having normal lives.
Raven swore to protect her. She trusted him, but he failed. They were outnumbered and outgunned in their own Homeland. From the White House to the UN, our enemies have friends in high places. Instead of targeting civilian populations, terrorists will now directly attack America's leaders and the thin black line of agents that protect America. Remove the protectors and the sheep will be helpless.
Without Josie or government support, what can Raven do? Can he find redemption?
