Crux of Paramour, Genesis

Governments around the world track our emails, phone calls, and browser history. Most people know this and don't care, but there is a shadow organization that tracks much more. They are the Thought Police. They influence every method of communication, and therefore, our lives. Nearly everything the world knows to be true is misdirection and misinformation. Politics, finance, news, war, entertainment, opinion, everything ... is influenced by the Thought Police. It is an autonomous organization that answers to no one. It is only fitting the people who work for the Thought Police are found living in the shadows. Rose Uhyrek is a gifted mechanic working in a small auto shop in the middle of nowhere. Zach Saxon is a computer programmer who influences others from the back of the pack. Neither are in the spotlight. Their simple and uneventful lives would change radically as they're thrust into a world of espionage and intrigue. Zach Saxon is unlike any recruit identified by the Thought Police. He's remarkably perceptive of human behavior and has an uncanny intuition. It's almost supernatural. Zach is a master manipulator of people, not unlike the Thought Police. It's the perfect work environment for someone like Zach. The Thought Police work in the shadows and that's where Zach lives and thrives. It's almost like the organization was custom made for him. There's only one problem for Zach. It's difficult to hide in the shadows inside an organization that knows practically everything. It doesn't take long for Zach to shine, advance, and then become dangerous.
