In the coastal town of Port Killian, veteran Detective Leo Miller investigates the suspicious death of Simon Vane, a forensic engineer found in a locked office at a local boatyard. While the local sheriff dismisses it as a heart attack, Miller discovers evidence of a professional hit, including a clove-scented chemical agent and a missing encrypted drive. Alongside his junior partner, Elias Vance, Miller uncovers a conspiracy involving The Aegis Group, a private military firm using the shipyard to smuggle restricted drone technology via hidden compartments in deep-sea trawlers.
