Tom Skolstad has become a pawn in a high-stakes game of espionage and murder. The problem is: he doesn't know he is playing. As the lead programmer of the next-generation Patriot missile system, Tom has been compromised by North Korean agents using psychotropic drugs. Alerted to the breech, U.S. Army counterintelligence agents work to reprogram him to lead the Koreans astray. Unfortunately, a murderous Korean agent discovers the plot and plans to literally terminate the mission, putting Tom, his wife, and the counterintelligence agents in a race to save their lives.
