When President Brookfield's sudden heart attack puts his vice president into the presidency, the rules of engagement change-for the worst. The new president attempts to appease the radical Islamic element and temper the reign of terrorism. His peace at any cost diplomacy, however, results in a series of catastrophic events-the emersion of the Palestinian National Alliance, a nuclear-armed Iraq, an isolated Israel and a rein of violence that begins with a gas attack on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. After the wife of wealthy philanthropist Jonathon Gates is killed in the attack on NYC, he and members of his humanitarian foundation, do what the government will not do-take on the terrorists on their own turf and in their own way. To obtain their objective, the Foundation turns to a team of loyal, military misfits who quickly begin turning plow shafts into swords. Added to the team, is Russian immigrant Stanko Shirski. Stanko uses his ties to the Russian Mafia to assist in a more domestic chore-removing the new president from office-one way or another. While the eye for an eye biblical edict lashes out at the terrorists, unintended consequences push the conflict to a critical point. Ultimately, Gates and the Foundation are forced to consider the ultimate retaliation. Revenge is a harsh taskmaster.
