Overview
When Marshall Hail lost his family in a devastating terrorist attack, he knew he had to take matters into his own hands. With his vast wealth and intellect, Hail has redirected his focus to taking down the FBI’s Top 10 Terrorist list.
He’s designed and built an arsenal of attack drones with the help of his MIT colleagues, and has recruited the nation’s best young gamers to fly them. Hail’s reach is global, and his operation is chillingly effective – so much so that the CIA has dubbed it Operation Hail Storm.
No one is safe from his wrath, and the world will never be the same.
