London based CIA operative Billy Pope is killed in his unsuccessful attempt to complete a deal with computer hack Jan Strook, better know online by his handle The Dutchman, for a wormhole program that allows its user to circumvent nuclear codes to launch at will, that deal being the program itself, immunity, a passport, and $10 million. Billy's superior, Quaker Wells, employs Dr. Micah Franks to conduct an untested surgery to transfer Billy's brain functions into another human to be able to access Billy's memory in the goal to discover The Dutchman's hidden location and thus the wormhole program, and where Billy hid the not recovered $10 million. The test subject chosen for his unique physiological brain structure is incarcerated Jerico Stewart, an extremely violent and remorseless criminal with the emotional capacity of a child. Shortly after the surgery, Jerico is able to escape custody, with Wells and Franks unaware of Jerico's mental state. The surgery was partially successful in that Billy's mental functions are conflicting with Jerico's. As Wells and his team go on a quest not only for Jerico but also The Dutchman, The Dutchman himself, in that not completed transaction with Billy, has the wormhole program for sale at that same price, the Russians who are in the market. Overriding it all is former businessman Xavier Heimdahl, The Dutchman's former partner in the wormhole program and Billy's murderer. Xavier's main mission is retrieving the program itself. As such, Xavier is also after Jerico and The Dutchman, and will use whomever he needs to achieve his goal, including targeting Billy's loving family, his wife Jill Pope and their adolescent daughter Emma Pope.—Huggo
