accused of a crime Owen is certain he didn't commit. Monroe, the IT guy

memories buried within their own DNA. During a simulation, Owen comes

Trident of Eden. Now two secret organizations will stop at nothing to
take possession of this artifact--the Brotherhood of Assassins and the
Templar Order. It becomes clear the only way to save himself is to find
the Trident first.
Under the guidance of Monroe, Owen and a group of other teenagers go

New York City. Owen and his companions will find themselves tested on
the violent streets of New York, and their experiences in the past will
have far-reaching consequences in the present.
