Sinossi
Deserto dello Utah. La sagoma scura di un treno blindato attraversa la notte. Un’esplosione scuote il silenzio, un gruppo di uomini armati sottrae due grosse bombole d’acciaio. Al loro interno, accuratamente separati, gli agenti binari di un potentissimo gas nervino destinato al dipartimento della Difesa. A San Diego, qualche giorno dopo, i servizi segreti collegano il furto al sorvegliato speciale John Wright, divorato dal risentimento verso una società che considera sbagliata e che vuole sovvertire. A tenergli testa è un agente che lo conosce molto bene, John Graves: solo il suo intuito ha una possibilità di svelare l’indecifrabile piano di Wright per diffondere il gas binario. I due si fronteggiano in una sfida psicologica al cardiopalma, un conto alla rovescia per mettere in salvo la vita del presidente degli Stati Uniti e di tutta la popolazione della costa occidentale.
