Palo Alto Bang & Burn
When idealistic professor Will Reynolds joins a clandestine government program researching remote viewing, his faith in science and reality unravels as he discovers truths that feel ripped from science fiction.
Will’s new role is anything but ordinary. Recruited into a clandestine U.S. Army remote viewing program, he finds himself tasked with impossible missions: locating the mastermind behind the deadliest terror attack since 9/11, identifying the source of the largest classified intelligence leak in history, and unraveling chilling reports of non-human entities allegedly operating command centers across the globe.
As Will’s team delves deeper into these seemingly unrelated cases, the lines between fact and paranoia blur. Each case leads him deeper into a web of classified horrors and unearthly mysteries. Confronted with phenomena that defy explanation, Will’s grip on reality—and his own beliefs—begins to fracture. By the end of his first day, he realizes this job is not just a career opportunity but a life-altering descent into a shadowy world where nothing is as it seems.
