Samantha Reid, White House Director of Homeland Security, receives intelligence about a potentially devastating kind of terror attack: the detonation of a small nuclear device high in the atmosphere, which would create an Electro-Magnetic Pulse and fry all electronics on the ground. No electricity. No transportation. No communication. Complete chaos. Samantha is shaken by the implications--but unfortunately, no one else in the White House is taking her concerns seriously.

Meanwhile Samantha's boyfriend, oil executive Tripp Adams, travels overseas on a business trip--and finds himself in a foreign country where a hostile group is planning the very attack Samantha fears. Can Samantha stop the attack--and save the love of her life--before it's too late?
