All she wanted was a new job, but she got more than she bargained for…

For twenty years, Ellie O’Neill successfully balanced her defense contractor career with being a single parent. Ready for a change, she accepts a position managing a very important client, the U.S. Navy. Her request for a security clearance triggers an investigation into a tragic family secret.

When Ellie was five years old, she thought she saw something fall from the sky. The incident was reported to the U.S. military, which searches her family farm but finds nothing. Soon after, her mother loses her job with the U.S. Treasury and then disappears from their lives forever.

Ellie courageously pits her problem-solving skills against a powerful and corrupt politician looking to safeguard his haunting cover-up. Her drive to make things right leads her on a dangerous journey to find the truth. Ellie needs to trust her instincts and depend on her friends to ultimately uncover what really happened when she was a child.
