Although he has now chosen to only work part-time for the Department of State, counter-terrorist operative Bruce McGowan continues to debate himself whether it is time to abandon the action life he has lived for over 30 years and finally settle down with his new bride, the beautiful Adrianna Wolf, or continue in his quest to protect Americas people. But suddenly an early morning phone call from his preceptor boss, Lionel Byrd, summons him for what could be one final, but very significant mission. This time it will be different.

It is the Christmas season following the 9/11 World Trade Towers terrorist attack, and McGowan's newly appointed FBI special agent daughter, Caroline, assigned to the Denver office, is missing.

And to McGowan's horror, Karn, obviously out for revenge, says he has taken Caroline.
