Without knowing why, they find themselves running for their lives through the wild unpopulated mountains with trained killers on their trail.

There he discovers a world wide comspiracy and the horrible knowledge that nuclear bombs have been placed in key cities around the world. With a canadian inspector and a young police officer, Alex races against time to prevent the destruction of the northeast United States.
