Professor Daniel Hayes discovers something impossible while examining the patents of America's most famous inventors.
They all used the same hidden mathematical language.
The symbols appear insignificant when viewed individually, but together they form a complex code.
Daniel and cryptographer Sarah Cole begin decoding the message and discover that it is actually a map.
The destination is a legendary American laboratory that supposedly never existed.
As they travel across the country following clues hidden inside patents, mechanical drawings, diaries, and old photographs, they uncover evidence that America's greatest inventors were part of a secret scientific society.
The society's mission was simple:
Advance human knowledge without allowing any single government or corporation to control it.
But someone betrayed the society.
And the final invention they created may still be waiting inside the lost laboratory.
