They told him to press the button. They didn't say what it would cost.
Frank Bargen isn't a hero-just a quiet bureaucrat good at keeping his head down. But when he's sent to The Basement as part of a covert government operation, he finds himself at the heart of a brutal system built on silence and fear. His job is simple: monitor the screens, and if things get out of hand, press the button.
But when out of hand becomes a front-row seat to sanctioned cruelty, Frank faces a choice that could destroy what little remains of his family-and his conscience.
As lies mount and the machine grinds on, Frank must decide: stay safe and complicit, or risk everything to expose the truth.
A gripping political thriller with moral weight and haunting relevance, this is a story about what it takes to wake up-and what you risk when you do.
