When the power goes out, the truth comes to light. Naomi Fournier is newly divorced, newly fired, and suddenly a threat to powerful people. A Senior VP at a Texas utility, Naomi never expected her life to collapse after she manually restored power during a mysterious blackout. But when she proves the grid can be manipulated, her corrupt CEO, a cheating executive now under blackmail, fires her before she can expose the truth. He knows what she's uncovered. Someone is preparing to take down the grid. Her ally is Buddy McClure, a former boxer with his own troubled past who now runs a homeless shelter in the shadow of Pine Street Station 53, one of the most critical substations in Texas. Buddy built his shelter to save lives. Now he learns it may be the key to destroying millions. Because the final step in a coordinated attack to black out the grid runs straight through Station 53. Joined by Maddie, a brilliant, tattooed hacker, Naomi and Buddy follow a trail of hacked utility control systems from Texas to Manila, uncovering a conspiracy built on blackmail, betrayal, and control. The people behind it are ruthless. And unless Naomi and Buddy can stop them, the lights will go out and this time, they won't come back on.
