Synopsis

In the quiet hum of a typical evening, television screens across America flicker and fade, replaced by a chilling broadcast that grips the nation. In Charleston, South Carolina, a group of terrorists seizes the spotlight, holding two Coast Guard members and a local news team captive. Their mission: to dismantle the triggers of all nearby nuclear weapons. As tension mounts, a darker threat looms—they possess their own nuclear device, ready to unleash devastation if their demands go unmet. Amidst the chaos, the clock ticks relentlessly, as the world watches, breathless.
