The prince wants to launch this revolutionary image and face recognition software called FazeLift at a major hacker convention in Las Vegas. Pat must launch the vital cyber-security software called The Dome before the conference, as the prince wants to maximize its publicity. Meanwhile, at home, Pat's ten-year-old son, Jared, keeps waking in the middle of the night screaming, saying a tall being in a long black coat and fedora hat is watching him. His younger son, Max, is also seeing this figure; this man made of darkness.When Pat learns that what his sons are seeing is true, that they're being visited by entities known as the Shadow People, he takes an unexpected trip to Saudi Arabia for answers, and in turn, confronts his deepest fears.
