Private investigator Dana Cutler gets the call when convicted serial killer Clarence Little breaks out of Oregon's death row. Meanwhile, her partner Brad Miller works in Washington D.C. for Senator Jack Carson, a powerful member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Brad starts receiving death threats just as a corpse turns up in Carson's Georgetown house. The victim died using Little's signature method, and now the senator has vanished without a trace. Dana heads to Oregon to investigate Carson's murky past while Brad stays in the capital. Neither realizes that a terrorist cell plans to blow up a crowded football stadium in what would become one of America's deadliest attacks. Carson's secret history connects directly to the terrorists' plot. As the stadium fills with unsuspecting fans, Dana and Brad race to expose the truth. They must stop both the escaped killer and prevent mass murder before thousands die.
