After surviving a devastating IED explosion in Afghanistan in 2012, Mackay Connolly is medically discharged from the British army. Barely alive, he is implanted with a cutting-edge synthetic bone structure called Phragazom to keep him alive. Back in the UK, Mackay struggles with PTSD and deep depression, but a budding friendship with Renee Cross, a wheelchair-bound military boxing instructor with her own traumatic past, brings a glimmer of hope.

However, tragedy strikes again when Mackay's brother and most of his family are killed at an Australian winery. Driven by a desire for justice, Mackay and Renee embark on a quest to uncover the truth and find Mackay's surviving nephew. They travel from one corner of the world to the other, facing countless challenges and dangers along the way.

Mackay has no idea how powerful his synthetic upgrade really is, as it gives him superhuman strength, speed, and agility. With his newfound abilities, Mackay is determined to take down those responsible for his family's murder and bring them to justice.

However, as he delves deeper into the case, Mackay discovers that the people behind the attack are not just criminals, but a powerful and dangerous organization with a global reach. Mackay and Renee must navigate a complex web of lies, betrayal, and intrigue to expose the truth and bring the organization to its knees.

Their journey takes them to some of the most dangerous places on earth, from the streets of London to the war-torn landscapes of Afghanistan. Along the way, Mackay and Renee must confront their own demons and learn to trust each other in order to survive.

In the end, Mackay and Renee succeed in bringing the organization to justice and saving Mackay's nephew from harm. Mackay realizes that his synthetic upgrade has given him a new purpose in life and a chance to make amends for the mistakes he has made in the past.

As he returns to his life in the UK, Mackay is determined to use his powers for good and to help those who have been affected by war and violence. He knows that there will be more challenges ahead, but he is ready to face them head-on and to continue fighting for justice and peace.
