David Peleus, Lance Corporal, USMC, is home. Reeling from a bitter deployment to Afghanistan that took the life of a close friend, he seeks the solitude of his father's home. But instead of silence, he finds himself immersed in the lives of three strangers.
Sibyl McGovern is an aging radical from the counterculture movement of the 1960's. Benjamin Nuemiester is the head of the Lysandreia Group, an ascending private-military firm. Melissa Reine is Benjamin's reluctant protege. Each has a need of David, but their plans conflict.
As David attempts to navigate an interlocking web of motives and plots, he finds his own world increasingly encumbered by a ghostly presence.
