Journalist Olympia Dorsey is desperate to help her teenage daughter and autistic son heal from the personal tragedy they all have suffered. Her neighbor Terry, a special forces veteran, wants to be there for her and the kids—even as he engages in dangerous secret activities. When Terry and the family visit an unusual martial arts exhibition, they meet a teacher of singular skill who offers a way for Olympia’s son to transcend his condition.
As the death toll gains momentum and society itself teeters on the edge of collapse, Olympia’s fragile clan is placed in jeopardy, and Terry comes to understand the terrible price he must pay to prevent catastrophe.
