Rumor has it that a terrorist group has a nuclear bomb, and plans to use it. Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, claims it's a harmless fake. Ben Fisher, CIA agent, only knows that someone is trying very hard to kill him, and that it's getting harder to tell friend from foe every day.
From Tel-Aviv to halls of CIA headquarters; from Upstate New York to the deserts of Israel, Ben must hunt and be hunted. In the end, though, it's up to him, with the help of a terrorist's daughter, to make sense out of the endless layers of deception that seem likely to provoke a bloody and senseless war.
