Would you be willing to hide the most terrible of truths to safeguard world order? Two years after Barack Obama's arrival to the presidency of the United States, a black man appears hanged at the headquarters of the United Nations in New York with a note pinned to his chest that threatens to "make the sky disappear and make the earth tremble." The FBI hides the news and Donovan, the UN press chief, is in charge of ensuring that the unusual event does not transcend the media. But he cannot avoid sharing his fears with journalist Loanne Harvey: who is the victim? What does that apocalyptic note mean? What threat looms over the United Nations? From then on, Donovan and Loanne will be involved in an exciting race plagued with traps, deceptions and conspiracies, which will make them oscillate between truth and lies with the constant cadence of a moving pendulum. The goal: the hall of the UN General Assembly. At stake: the arrival of absolute chaos on earth.
