Following a string of tragic events, three resilient siblings serve as the last line of defense in the hallowed halls of a powerful English family, the Becketts. Bound by blood but split by ideologies, they work to uphold the legendary Beckett name.
In the meantime, a web of intrigue entangles young American Agent, Aiden Wolfe, who bears a striking likeness to the powerful Head of the Ministry of Defence in England.
Questions come up as Aiden works his way through the complex relationships of the Beckett family: Will he end up an unintentional spy, or does fate have more elaborate plans in store for him? The conflict of titanic proportions in this story of heritage, espionage, and familial obligation holds the potential to completely rewrite the Beckett family tree.
