FBI Agent Angus Mariner is off-grid after a tragic car accident kills his beloved wife. Out of nowhere, he's approached by an eccentric old man, a billionaire, who gives him a $3M gift - and is discovered dead the next day. Mariner becomes a person of interest and later a suspect in the old man's death, as well as the death of a vagrant found on the beach a half mile from his residence. While investigating the dizzying turn of events, he is contacted by a journalist, who shares details of secret work his wife had been doing just before the fatal accident that killed her.
Digging into what feels like unlikely allegations brings him to two unthinkable truths: his wife was a whistleblower about to expose a ring of corruption linked to the eccentric old man, and the fatal car crash that killed her was no accident. Out on a limb with no one left to trust, he must decide if he alone can expose the organization's terrifying agenda - and bring meaning to his wife's untimely death.
