Existing at the fringes of Washington, D.C., the Club consists of four eccentric members. Led by a mysterious man known as “Oliver Stone,” they study conspiracy theories, current events, and the machinations of government to discover the “truth” behind the country’s actions. Their efforts bear little fruit – until the group witnesses a shocking murder…and becomes embroiled in an astounding, far-reaching conspiracy.
Now the Club must join forces with a Secret Service agent to confront one of the most chilling spectacles ever to take place on American soil – an event that may trigger the ultimate war between two different worlds. And all that stands in the way of this apocalypse are five unexpected heroes.
