The agent, suffering mind-twisting psychoses of his own, engages two anarchist brothers to help him complete his mission.

Rushing against the clock, Parker and the reporter must follow a harrowing trail of twists and turns to untangle the assassin's mission and prevent cataclysmic repercussions for the United States.
