Darren stumbles across a network of people linked by mobile technology. But why?

Thriller by Tony McHale. Listening to a voicemail on his step-daughter's phone, Darren uncovers a network of people linked by mobile technology. But for what purpose?

Discovering a stash of mobile phones belonging to his out-of-work step-daughter Charlie, Darren Collins stumbles across an ominous voicemail message. Curious as to how Charlie can afford so many phones and what the message might mean, Darren decides to investigate and calls the number on the phone. Unwittingly, Darren uncovers a network of individuals apparently using mobile technology to arrange various protests and demonstrations. As he starts to get drawn into the world of the network Darren begins to wonder is there something more sinister at work at its core? But what exactly? And how is Charlie involved?

Determined to discover the truth, Darren infiltrates the network further, but at what cost to both himself, and to Charlie?
