It is fall 2018, and Lady Jaye's cousin Ben Hart, is celebrating his twenty-fifth year as an English Professor at Lakeside University. When a student is murdered right in front of him, Ben makes a frantic call to a defunct G.I. Joe emergency line. The person who answers is not who Ben is expecting. As the murders continue, a classic G.I. Joe team, made up of new, retired, and realigned, members come to help. Meanwhile, a journalism student at the University also decides to investigate the murders, unknowingly beginning her career as the latest G.I. Joe, Agent Blue Jaye.
