New York District Attorney Butch Karp, recovering from an assassination attempt that came within a few millimetres of killing him, takes on a shadowy cartel that uses terrorists to further their criminal empire and slide the United States toward a fascist state that they control. As Karp struggles to uncover those responsible for planning the terrorist murders of six schoolchildren, he goes to the aid of his college roommate's younger brother who has been unfairly suspended from his position as baseball coach at a university in Idaho.
