Seven years have passed since Control. The Oldest House has lost containment. An AWE is running amok in Manhattan. And the FBC director, Jesse Faden, has gone missing. Control Resonant stars Dylan Faden, Jesse's brother, a powerful parautilitarian, who awakens from his coma to find a strange object in his chest and his sister missing. Now, working with the Federal Bureau of Control, Dylan uses his powers to try to defend the city, locate Jesse, and find redemption.
