On a wet and dreary evening, a SCUD C ballistic missile, loaded with a deadly nerve agent, streaked toward the city of Kunsan, South Korea. A US Patriot Battery, assigned to protect the city, stood quiet as the missile exploded above its intended target. After dispensing its mist of doom, death consumed thousands as mucous collected in their lungs disrupting every breath until eventually all air flow ceased.

The Patriot Battery protecting Kunsan, led by Lieutenant Haller, fails to operate properly. There are hints of sabotage, but Haller doesnt see them. She is blamed for the failure, court martialed and sentenced to die. The military authorities believe she collaborated with the enemy.

Will the President execute a female officer?...a single mother?...Will the treachery of a few cause an innocent woman to die?
