Synopsis

In a near-future world, Logan Ramsay, an agent for the Defense Intelligence Agency, finds his life irrevocably altered after a mysterious incident leaves him feeling inexplicably sharper, more intelligent, and less reliant on sleep. He soon discovers his genome has been 'hacked,' initiating an unparalleled 'upgrade' to his cognitive and physical abilities. This isn't a random event; Logan has been specifically targeted due to a dark family legacy dating back decades, intertwining him with the very genesis of genetic experimentation. As his transformation accelerates, Logan uncovers a much larger, chilling plan: to inflict this same forced evolution on humanity at large, at a terrifying and potentially destructive cost. Now possessing abilities far beyond normal human limits, Logan is the only one capable of stopping the impending global change, forcing him to confront not only his past and his humanity but also the profound ethical questions surrounding engineered evolution and the future of humankind.
