About this title

Synopsis

When General Winston invites a beautiful woman to his hotel room in Tysons, Virginia, he expects a romantic sexcapade. But Dana Hussein al-Sadi turns the tables, assassinates the general, and steals his briefcase, which contains a blueprint for terrorism. Dana's elite terrorist cell is soon off to Europe to acquire nuclear weapons from the Russian Mafia.

Though Alex Werth initially suspects Jolene Martin, author of the blueprint report, of the murder, he realizes her expertise will be crucial in the hunt for Winston's killer and stopping the impending disaster. Everything comes to a head in rural Virginia, where the fate of the world will be decided.
