WHAT IS ECHELON?
An elite agency
that mentors talented emerging artists, Echelon is run by ‘angel’
investors who offer sponsorships with one condition: the artist
must fulfill a single ‘request’ when the program is complete. These contracts are strictly enforced by the enigmatic STRAHD, the agency's ‘collector’.
When
IAN, a promising fashion designer, KIRA, an alluring journalist, and
CEDRIK, a street-wise musical genius, fall prey to the destructive
Echelon program, they hatch a revenge plan to unmask the agency. But
they soon discover that Echelon is in fact operated by one of Europe’s oldest and
most powerful families with an agenda more sinister than anyone could
imagine.
