On the night of February 5, 1958, a B-47 on a simulated combat mission out of Homestead Air Force base in Florida was involved in a mid-air collision with a F-86L escort off the coast of Georgia. The fighter pilot ejected safely, but the nuclear bomb it carried was jettisoned into the Atlantic Ocean near Tybee Island. In the months following the collision, the Air Force failed to locate the bomb, and the search was abandoned. Renewed Air Force searches of the bomb after 9/11 proved fruitless. After the events of 9/11, the Air Force search for the bomb takes on new meaning, but it soon becomes apparent that someone has beaten them to it. Michael Correa, a U.S. Army Special Forces operative, teams with former homicide detective Brian Mullen and ex-Secret Service agent Dan Whitney on a covert operation to foil an al Qaeda plot. Their primary target is Hamza Jarrah, a terrorist who seems to always be one step ahead. As Jarrah plans to detonate the Tybee bomb, the American trio searches to find the eventual target before millions of lives are lost. With time running out and nowhere else to turn, they are forced to rely on the information provided by Jarrah’s wife. But can she be trusted?
