Determined to clear himself, he goes to his client s home where he finds only corpses. Narrowly escaping, Lucas runs from both the FBI and his would-be killers. Fueled by memories of his brother s tragic death in the Trade Center and aided by his ex-fiancee, a beautiful cop assigned to the Project Seahawk anti-terrorism taskforce, Lucas begins to unravel a flawlessly planned conspiracy. He discovers his politically unassailable boss has masterminded a plot aimed at bringing about Armageddon with stolen missiles, depleted nuclear fuel and a band of Muslim terrorists intent on killing the President. As the FBI closes in, Lucas launches his own desperate attempt to stop the madness before it is too late.
