In May of 2025, Ethan Fox, a freelance investigative journalist, was contacted by FBI undercover agent, Cole Tyler, who had recently infiltrated the most dangerous hate group in America. The group was operating in Virginia at The Preserve, a 100,000-acre big-game hunting facility filled with over 1,000 wild Russian boar. But why did Cole need Ethan? By contacting a journalist while operating undercover in a case, Cole would most certainly mark the end of his stellar career in the Bureau, however, given what he had just learned, it was the only option he had remaining. Unfortunately for Cole, his problems were just beginning.
