Four years have passed since Massimo Ruggero managed to thwart Dominic Morgan's plan against the Euro, but he paid a high price: Sofia's death. Massimo, now NYL bank's new CEO, has appointed a group of Chinese investors to the board who are waging a silent war against the United States to rule over the tech sector. Acquisition after acquisition, Massimo will discover a pattern where the data of millions of people is collected, used and fought over by the two sides. Becoming NYL's strongest opponent is Massimo's old mentor: Dominic Morgan. Progressively Massimo becomes aware of this silent battle, but it will be in 2020 when the global pandemic hits that this war will come into the light and Massimo will finally have to choose which side to take.
