Its unique effects draw the attention of British intelligence who undertake Lock’s development. He has the ability to move his body through a different dimension using the power of thought and his enhanced senses detect living beings as energy pulses. These skills make him invaluable to military and intelligence organisations. They employ him to work alongside elite taskforces taking passengers on covert operations using teleportation ‘Shifting’ in and lifting operatives out of hostile situations. Lock’s handlers are put on red alert when a similar drug Starbirth appears in the United States and Britain sold as an illegal high.

Lock and a small unit of covert operatives are given the task of finding the source of Starbirth and shutting it down but their efforts are hindered by corrupt ruthless people with their own agendas. Lock is joined in his quest by Jimmy Mackenzie a Special Air Service veteran trooper. Their lives are changed forever by events out of their control.
