SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH JOHN
The 1960s. The Cold War is at its freezing point, and the world teeters on the edge of nuclear annihilation. One year after surviving a devastating terrorist bombing in the slums of Middleton, FBI agent John Jones returns to duty. But he is no longer the man he was. Now working for a specialized, shadowy department known as "The Agency," John struggles to maintain a semblance of a normal life with his wife, Bridget, and their mute son, Tyler. However, the explosion left him with more than just scars. A non-physical, alien consciousness known only as "The Martian" has rooted itself in his mind, rewriting his perception of reality and granting him terrifying, incomprehensible abilities. As John hunts for the truth behind the attack, he realizes the bombing wasn't a random act of terror, but a surgical strike aimed at Dr. Mike Miller, linked to a classified government operation called "Project Human Flame." Trapped between his fading humanity and the cosmic entity taking over his psyche, John is pulled into a web of conspiracy involving the mysterious A.R.G.U.S. and an impending intergalactic threat. In a world of secrets and shadows, he must decide if he is a man hunting a Martian, or a Martian hunting the truth.
