Cole Turner has studied conspiracies all his life, from flat Earth Theory and the Assassination of JFK to modern-day crisis actors, but he isn't prepared to live in a world where collective belief can turn fringe theories into reality. That is the terrible secret revealed to Cole when he is inducted into The Department of Truth, a top-secret branch of the American government that has been tasked for generations with making sure dangerous conspiracies don't gain a foothold in the real world. But as Cole pulls back the curtain on everything he ever accepted as fact, he must ask himself whether this mysterious Department is a force for good ... or if it has more sinister reasons for wanting to control the truth.
