The story revolves around a catastrophic event that occurs during a President's speech. When the President of the United States attends a public speaking event in Los Angeles, he becomes subject to a terrorist attack. Explosions rip through the hall, causing a massive loss of life including the President's.

The event triggers a series of chaotic events that threaten to destabilize the entire country. The intelligence services receive information that the terrorists are planning a series of follow-up attacks. Despite their best efforts, they are unable to identify their location or stop them.

As the two men begin to work together, Brown's true motives become clear.
