He faces sadistic terrorists who have kidnapped his daughter and plan to blow up a historic Manhattan landmark. While in Northern Ireland, Briscoe meets the enigmatic IRA leader known as Commander Steel. In exchange for an exclusive interview, he agrees to deliver an envelope to an Irish tavern owner in Queens. Shortly after Briscoe hands over the envelope to Jack McDaid, the tavern is destroyed by a bomb, plunging Briscoe into a violent conflict that threatens his life, his daughter's, four prominent Irish-American politicians, and countless innocents.
