Homeland Security troubleshooter Dr. Derek Stillwater is called to Detroit to investigate a sarin gas attack. Before he can even get started, the terrorist, calling himself The Serpent, contacts the media and demands a ransom or he will strike again.

With FBI Agent Jill Church, Derek is in a race against time to stop The Serpent from killing even more people. But The Serpent has a much larger agenda, and the first two attacks are only the tip of the iceberg. Derek and Jill must try to get a step ahead of a brilliant killer before he can commit the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil.
