What do you get for remembering faces? Not much. Just ask Nigel Grant, an adjunct professor at Portland State University, barely surviving after a failed marriage and the global recession of 2009. Well, that was until a trip to San Diego over the holidays turned into an unexpected job offer from Face Value Corporation, a San Diego-based company with the leading face recognition technology used by INTERPOL and other law enforcement agencies.

There are some that want to ban the use of face recognition, but the call for greater enforcement and monitoring resonates with others who are worried about the increased sophistication of criminal activity. Throw in the challenges from the coronavirus, and surveillance becomes even more difficult. With intelligence and enforcement practices failing around the world, Face Value and INTERPOL are forced to use people for real time assessment. Nigel Grant is one of these people.

Travel along with Nigel Grant and his girlfriend, Clare, on his first assignment for Face Value Corporation to the South by Southwest Festival in 2021, where an unexpected encounter with his past places Nigel and Clare in the middle of a political conspiracy with deadly consequences.

Nigel soon learns that remembering faces is the least of his problems.
