Jeremy Logan finds himself on the coastline of Newport, Rhode Island, where he has been retained by Lux, one of the oldest and most respected think tanks in America.

In a long-dormant wing of the estate, Logan uncovers an ingeniously hidden secret room, concealed and apparently untouched for decades-- and the source of a completely unexpected danger.
