The UDM Protocol Keith Gumbs

UDMs, we can't avoid, control or forget them. For Georgia, a young Southern Belle, a UDM strikes early one morning that lands her in the path of an unlikable stranger, Jaacyn who pursues and seduces her into his world. Her paranoia forces her to dutifully question Jaacyn's cunning innocence and his possible connection to the organization she loathes. Jaacyn's close confidant, Curtiss opposes the relationship, but he must tread lightly because he needs Jaa's support to overcome his own battles. Jaacyn, the pacifist encounters turbulence when he meets Georgia's father a staunchly Confederate warmongering Vietnam vet who forced his daughter into the military. There's a very dark and potentially devastating technological phenomenon lurking that only Jaacyn knows about. He has kept it shielded for decades, but Georgia's presence begins to dangerously erode his ability to maintain its secrecy. Georgia gets comfortable with her new love and plans an adventurous Caribbean vacation. When a UDM strikes and shakes her confidence in Jaacyn, she decides to find out the truth. However, she has to wait for their vacation to implement her plan. Does he love her? Is he a sweetheart or just a lover, a conman, a spy, something else, or maybe all of the above?
