The hostages are young: a bus full of teenagers on a church mission. The ransom demands are explicit: deliver three million dollars-with zero involvement from law enforcement-or all captives will be executed. But rescue specialist Jonathan Grave doesn't believe in ultimatums. For him and his elite team at Security Solutions, it's all about protecting the innocent.

Someone wants to control a devastating secret…Someone rich and powerful…Someone willing to capture, torture, an kill anyone to get it. Even the people Jonathan loves most…
