At America's premier research lab in New Mexico, birthplace of the atomic bomb, the race is on to save humanity. Dr. Alek Spray and his team are on the verge of a breakthrough that could produce clean, unlimited energy. In the wrong hands, the same technology could become a deadly weapon and spark a new arms race. As Alek struggles to create a transformative energy source using a nuclear reaction often mistaken for cold fusion, he faces pressure from the U.S. government to apply his findings to building a weapon of mass destruction. Politicians demand that Alek develop this weapon before the country's enemies can. After a mysterious laboratory accident and the disappearance of two of the team's members, Alek joins forces with FBI Agent Gabi Stebbens. They embark on a quest to uncover who else is trying to harness this new technology - an investigation that takes them to Mexico and China, where they discover a plot of intrigue, money, and power. A rogue Chinese general is using Mexican drug-cartel money to develop a lethal beam-weapon called the Dragon's CLAW. If Alek and Gabi cannot stop this rogue alliance it will create a new arms race and may cause the doomsday clock to strike zero, and Alek's dream of changing the world by creating limitless, affordable energy will come to an end.
