The protagonist Brian Wilson
... is a humorous guy with qualities that always surprise his friends. Since starting his new job at NATO's Naval Command, unusual things have happened.
His abilities belong to the borderlands of psychology. Therefore, military and intelligence agencies occasionally seek Brian's help. Some even claim he is a living lie detector. Anna, a meditation teacher, is one of the people who knows what he can do and what belongs to the realm of legends. They occasionally meet for language courses and train parts of their brain regions about which even neurologists of conventional medicine do not know much yet.
As if such a life wasn't exciting enough, a strange accident occurs. While some try to find out what happened, even high-ranking military officers have to learn that it can't be a good idea to mess with their own country's intelligence services. Brian is asked for help and witnesses an unbelievable event. Some experiences make him feel firsthand to what extent conspiracy theories have something to do with manipulations in the brain and who or what triggers them.
Finally, Brian has to learn that prejudices influence not only the decisions of others but also his own. On the mission assigned to him, he is confronted with something that most people would still laugh off as pure fiction. As soon as he starts his new assignment, events begin to unfold, and Brian is drawn into an international conflict. By the time it becomes clear what he's gotten himself into, he's already one of the most wanted people on the planet.
