The Hunt for Sunan

A 1967 refinery explosion outside of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, plants the seed for a covert plan that threatens the small town of La Salle, Louisiana, a farming town on the banks of the Mississippi River. Forty years later, a late night phone call sends Arizona civil engineer Daniel Hartwick on a business trip to La Salle. Vandalism and sabotage threaten to destroy La Salle, which sits in the shadow of a massive Mississippi River levee. There Daniel joins up with two colleagues from Kansas City, his friend Yanus Fautonov, from the Ukraine, and Nadine Russo who was called away from her husband and two teenagers. Obsessed with UFO's and internet reports of alien sightings, Yanus's theories were often dismissed. But soon after his arrival in La Salle, Yanus disappears from his hotel room. Daniel and Nadine are drawn into a manhunt for their missing colleague. A family crisis distracts Nadine. Yanus may not be who he says he is, and appears to have a shocking connection to his kidnappers. Daniel and Nadine stumble into a buried past hidden in La Salle, an underlying conspiracy and become targets.
