Craig and his team must infiltrate the town to search for survivors, the weapon, and the dark secrets it holds. But as they navigate the violent uprisings and mysterious forces at play, Craig must confront not only the enemies around every corner, but also the ghosts of his past. Will he be able to save Helm's Hamlet and America before it's too late?
