The trail leads to a solar installation that isn't producing power. It's consuming it. An unlikely alliance forms to expose the truth: a grieving deputy and his daughter, a Norwegian election observer, and a former intelligence analyst with a past she can't outrun.

We become vessels through which God speaks, moves, and releases His purposes into the earth.
