Oliver Palmer is a successful life improvement coach who uses hypnotherapy techniques with his clients to achieve their goals and provide solutions to deep rooted personal issues. His Monday morning appointment on paper appeared routine, just a client who wanted to quit smoking. Very quickly into their first session he soon realised that this was not going to be the routine appointment that he first assumed. This particular client had a dark past, which was soon to come back and haunt him, dragging Oliver Palmer along in the process. He now found himself embroiled within a situation that seemed impossible to get out of. Caught up in all the confusion he is presented with a moral dilemma, that will eventually change his life forever.

The CDB is a covert intelligence branch of the CIA set up solely to monitor the whereabouts of just one man. William Naylor, a young ambitious field agent, is recruited for the purpose of injecting some new energy into the aging department. Knowing very little prior to being selected, he is briefed on the operations of the CDB. He is then shocked to learn that the entire division is only interested in the capture of the wanted man who has evaded capture since 1963. The fact that the fugitive has been elusive longer that the young agent has been alive raises some questions that lead to some extraordinary answers.
