The people of Los Angeles are reeling after the brutal murders of several innocent children at a Beverly Hills day school. The victims are all Jewish and from affluent families, while the perpetrators appear to be agents of the terrorist group ISIS. The city, as well as the entire country, is further shocked by the kidnapping and apparent assassination of a local rabbi, a vigorous supporter of the State of Israel.

A full-scale manhunt ensues to find the perpetrators and all elements of the nation's law enforcement teams are brought in. Lara Edmond, an FBI agent with a history of success in similar high pressure situations, is sent from New York, along with her off-and-on lover, Uri Levin. Levin is an infamous Mossad assassin, well-versed in the tactics of Middle East terror organizations. When the pair splits up to conduct their own investigations, they each find themselves in danger while the situation escalates to an international crisis.
