When Knox discovers that one of his own students has been spying on him, the mission fractures into something deeply personal. Loyalties blur. The island turns hostile. And as the past catches up, Knox must navigate a deadly game where trust is a weapon—and survival is anything but guaranteed.

Expose everything and destroy what’s left of his world…
