Timothy Butler, an agent in the Counter Intelligence Division of the FBI working undercover for the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), leads a structured yet solitary life in Washington, D.C. Tasked with investigating the growing influence of Valkyrian Enterprises (EOA), an enigmatic organization expanding its footprint in media, fitness, and local economies, he operates in the shadows, piecing together clues. Despite being engaged for two years to Bella, a kind and patient woman who dreams of their wedding, Tim keeps delaying the big day, unsure of what’s holding him back.
One evening, in a lively Washington bar, he meets Ramona Darcana, a scientist with the USGS (U.S. Geological Survey). Ramona is exceptional: towering at 6’5” (195 cm), athletic, and effortlessly charismatic, with a magnetic laugh and a natural ease that starkly contrasts with Tim’s reserved demeanor. The two hit it off immediately. They talk, joke, and, aided by a few drinks, spend the night laughing and getting to know each other. It’s just another casual night out, the kind of spontaneous drinking session that happens a million times a day across the world. Yet, for Tim, something feels different—like fate has taken a personal interest in this encounter.
