George Maxwell is at the pinnacle of his career as the youngest CEO, President and Chairman of the Board of a large national and international bank, Global Financial. It and two other mega-banks are threatened with a financial chaos after thieves hijack a security truck full of personal data computer files on their way to storage. Thousands of customers are the victims of identity theft and demand indemnification for their losses and tighter security. All three banks must find a way to assure their customers that their assets are secure and protected against any future loss. Maxwell convinces his board of directors to approve the use of a biometric computer chip embedded in the customers’ right hand that allows them to access their accounts or conduct business transactions. Protestors campaign against the use of the embedded chip, claiming it to be the technology that ushers in the mark of the beast. Maxwell gets swept into the protest after a secret from his past is revealed that causes him to examine his choices and priorities. Now, he must choose. If he makes the wrong decision, is he damned forever?
