Angela Henson is a straight-A student with a loving family and dreams of becoming a doctor. Then when she's 14 she finds out that her parents are CIA agents suspected of treason for selling state secrets to the enemy. With her parents in prison, Angela's path takes her on a journey as an FBI agent in New York City, with a specialty for finding out when both suspects and victims are lying. However, the past still has a hold on her, making her suspicious of others, and closed-off to her new boyfriend Peter and younger brother Jerry. No matter how much she tries to right the wrongs of her parents, she must still face them, and figure out if they could possibly be sending her coded messages.—Tickleberry
