Looking at him, people think that Evan Andrews is the luckiest man in the world. He has a beautiful fiancée and an adorable daughter who idolizes him. What people don’t know is that Evan possesses a deep, dark secret. Evan is one of the few people who has intimate knowledge of The Shadow Government. The Shadow Government are the individuals that really control the world and now they know Evan has been talking about them. Receiving a threatening message, Evan and his daughter begin their lives on the run.
