Five strangers guard our secrets. Only four can be trusted... In the 21st century, information is king. But computers can be hacked and files can be broken into - so a unique government initiative has been born. Five ordinary people have been selected to become Minders - the latest weapon in thwarting cyberterrorism.

Transformed by a revolutionary medical procedure, the country's most classified information has been taken offline and turned into genetic code implanted inside their heads. Together, the five know every secret - the truth behind every government lie, conspiracy theory and cover up. In return, they're given the chance to leave their problems behind and a blank slate to start their lives anew. But not everyone should be trusted, especially when they each have secrets of their own they'll do anything to protect...

A decade after scientists discover everyone has a gene they share with just one other person, their perfect partner, millions have taken the quick DNA test, desperate to find true love. But even soul mates have secrets. And some are more shocking – and deadlier – than others...

When someone hacks into the systems of eight self-drive cars, their passengers are set on a fatal collision course. The passengers are: a TV star, a pregnant young woman, a disabled war hero, an abused wife, an illegal immigrant, a husband and wife - and parents of two - who are travelling in separate vehicles and a suicidal man. The public have to judge who should survive, but are the passengers all that they first seem?
