Some sixty years after the murder of his uncle in World War II by members of his own platoon, private investigator Jim Morrison discovers that the post-war investigation of the murder was suppressed. When he tries to publicize the results of his inquiry, there are several attempts on his life, all sponsored by Daemon Crux, the would-be candidate for the Republican nomination for president. To protect Jim, his friend, Police Lieutenant Sean Murphy provides him with a hi-tech safe house that he has designed himself. Meanwhile, Sydney Gellar, a prominent reporter, picks up the story. Working together, the three of them try to stop Crux's attacks and expose his misdeeds before he succeeds in killing Jim and ending his investigation forever.
