Imagine a world dominated by vast secret societies. Originally formed to protect the people, over the years they have become dysfunctional and corrupt. The Resolution Company, one of the largest and most ambitious of these organizations, has started taking over their rivals, growing in dominance and power. Edward Harrows is the head of the Resolution Company. He is merciless in his thirst for absolute control. More and more, the entire world has become reliant on his power, power which is growing by the day and hour. One of Edward's oldest and most trusted secret agents has become a pawn in this insidious quest for world domination. Now this agent must choose between his loyalty to the Company and his very life itself. One of the rival societies, the Royal Corporation, still stands by the principles upon which it was founded: the welfare and protection of the people.
