Synopsis/Details

When a devastating earthquake suddenly frees photojournalist DANNY WILLARD from nine years of underground captivity, he emerges broken and barely human. Reduced to "Object 547" by renowned neuroscientist Professor Mercer's brutal psychological experiments, Danny can hardly remember his own name.
His brother JOE brings him home to recover, aided by BUCK HOLLAND, a former CIA operative whose own son vanished into the same program. As Danny slowly heals, he discovers the horrifying truth: his former fiancée ALLISON was Mercer's daughter, who hand-picked him as the perfect test subject.
But dangerous corporate forces led by ruthless ANTOINE DEVEREAUX will stop at nothing to reclaim their most valuable "asset." When they escalate to deadly force, Danny must overcome his shattered psyche to fight back. Using Buck's intelligence connections and files from years of research, they orchestrate an FBI sting that brings down the entire network.
Five years later, Danny has rebuilt his life as a celebrated trauma advocate. But when JEFF HOLLAND – Buck's supposedly dead son – contacts him, Danny learns the terrifying truth: Jeff survived the program as a perfect psychopath, now leading a network of converted subjects embedded throughout society.
Danny's hard-won victory was merely an elaborate illusion. The real conspiracy runs much deeper than anyone imagined.
