Former counterterrorist agent, Kurt Albrecht, long retired and totally disenchanted with the current government, commands a home-grown militia group in northern West Virginia. Planning to explode an electromagnetic pulse bomb (EMP) over the Washington, D.C. grid, the suspected domestic terrorist intends to knock out all electronics within fifty square miles. In response, U.S. National Security Advisor Ben Marshall, long-time friend of former covert operative Bruce McGowan, engages McGowan to infiltrate and investigate the group to determine if the Intel is accurate. As his investigation unfolds, Bruce finds himself wrapped up in a deadly cat-and-mouse game with ex-partner Albrecht that could cost him his life.
