As global tensions quietly escalate, NSA agent Frank Richards is assigned to follow a single, deeply buried lead-one that draws him into an uneasy partnership with CIRO operative Hana Kosikawa, a Japanese intelligence officer carrying the weight of an unspoken past.
Their investigation pulls them across borders and into the shadow spaces between governments, where trust is scarce and decisions carry irreversible consequences. As the world continues on, unaware of how fragile its assumptions have become, Frank and Hana are forced to rely on one another while navigating forces neither fully understands.
Elsewhere, powerful interests race to impose order on a rapidly destabilizing world, convinced that control-technological, political, or personal-is still possible.
Under the Orange Sky is a near-future thriller that blends espionage, psychological depth, and speculative tension to explore human connection, moral ambiguity, and the quiet choices people make when certainty begins to erode. In a world without clear heroes or villains, survival depends not on control-but on what one refuses to surrender.
