CIA operative Titus Ray accepts an off-the-books assignment in Panama. His contact tells him there's sufficient intel, reliable sources, and a legitimate objective. Not true. The intel isn't sufficient, the sources aren't reliable, and the objective isn't legitimate.

The intel isn't sufficient . . .

Before leaving for Panama, he's given a flash drive—obtained from a Chinese defector—which contains all the intelligence he'll need to complete the mission. It's a lie. He was never told about the presence of a Chinese research facility near the Canal's entrance.

The sources aren't reliable . . .

When Titus arrives in Panama City, he has the names of two individuals who are willing to help him achieve the mission—an Agency operative and a Panamanian consular affairs officer. It's a lie. Only one of them can be trusted.

The objective isn't legitimate . . .

When Titus is briefed on the assignment, the former DDO tells him the mission's objective is legitimate—uncover a traitor inside the American Embassy and verify that a Panamanian government official is working with the Chinese. It's a lie. The actual objective is to make the former DDO look good in the eyes of the Agency's leadership.

Despite the lies, Titus and his team are determined to complete the mission . . .

But when a member of his team is wounded, and the secret police are closing in, Titus does what he does best—he relies on his faith, his training, and his God-given instincts to finish the mission and bring the truth to light.

Lies have consequences . . .

When Titus is finally able to confront the deceiver, he lets him know that lies have consequences, and while Titus doesn't deliver the consequences personally, he takes satisfaction in knowing they were delivered, and they were delivered swiftly.
