A so-called CIA Operative is captured by the North Korean Government and the operative's father, an American general, asks the White House to intervene. The White House ignores the father's pleas. After his son is tortured for three years and finally murdered, the father's plot for revenge goes into hyper mode. His plan, to revenge his son's needless death, is to kidnap several of the children of high-ranking generals in the U.S. European Command in order to force the Army to implement a first-strike plan against North Korea: An attack that bypasses permission of the U.S. President. An American attack might cause China to enter the fray which would cause a global conflict.
