While jogging in Hyde Park, David Townsend foils the attempted kidnapping of the daughter of a Russian ex-patriate arms dealer. This dealer has unwittingly put some very dangerous people in touch with a greedy Russian Air Force base commander. What was supposed to be the sale of small arms and rockets turns out to be the West's worst nightmare, a tactical nuclear weapon. Townsend brings in his old friend and former Naval Aviator, Billy Ray Benfield, to help find the weapon and unravel the intricate plan to transport the weapon to the United States. Realizing the high stakes in this game, Townsend invites his friend, FBI Speical Agent Stacy Foster, onto the team. The trail, littered with misdirection and false leads, takes Townsend and Benfield on a desparate chase through the busy streets of London, beachfront properties in Karachi, and the New York City docklands. Each time the team gets close, the director of this labyrinthine plot provides a twist to frustrate the teams's efforts. After enduring this frustration, the team begins to get into the head of this clever man. At the climax of this long and vexing chase, the team realizes that it was less about the potential horrific destruction and more about the intricate plot of what the perpetrator of the event calls "The Show".
