When a mysterious former South African commando begins taking wealthy hostages all over the world, it appears at first to be a typical ransom gambit. However, it soon becomes clear that Lucas Van Groot is not only making a fortune with his "Hostage Inc." venture, but also manipulating worldwide stock markets and causing panic on Wall Street and at the Federal Reserve. Enter Black Box, the CIA's most secret special operations branch--so surreptitious that not even the Director of CIA is fully privy to the unit's activities. Black Box is comprised of secret agents with incredible skills: Chameleons who can transform into myriads of characters, Ghosts who are specialists in stealth and surveillance, Wind operatives who are transportation experts, and Aberration spies whose specialty is deep cover for years. Kali Kent, a Nigerian born and Bronxite super star in the Black Box program, leads the hunt for Van Groot and his conspiracy of international criminals. However, he soon discovers that the South African mastermind is after a much larger prize. Kali Kent and Black Box must stop Van Groot before he can execute a worldwide tragedy. But along the way, Kali will have to face the demons from his childhood and reflect on his emotional path that made him the Chameleon that he has become today.
