While covering an anti-nuclear protest, magazine columnist and former Department of Defense research analyst, Lewis Cole, is thrust into chaos as shots ring out among the crowd, leaving Lewis's friend injured and a charismatic activist dead.
Determined to seek justice for his friend and unsatisfied with leaving the investigation solely in the hands of the authorities, Lewis delves into the background of the murdered activist and the anti-nuclear protesters that have gathered on the picturesque New Hampshire seacoast.
