Oliver, a young aspiring writer, is drafted into a brutal military bootcamp where he forms unique bonds with fellow recruits Ben, Jayden and Noah, and comes under the command of Donovan, a hardened instructor who sees something in Oliver he doesn’t yet understand.

But bootcamp is only the beginning.

As his training comes to an end, Oliver is selected for ‘The Writer Initiative’; a classified psychological warfare program designed to blur the line between truth and fiction through controlled storytelling and propaganda.

As war spreads across a fractured London, Oliver is pulled into a conflict far larger than he ever imagined. A conflict where words—his words—can be as dangerous as a firearm. In the end, only one question remains:

How much of the war is being written… and how much of it is real?
