They'll commit an act of unthinkable barbarity. The Taskforce – a highly clandestine Special Forces unit – has confronted countless attacks, but never one of this magnitude. ISIS has set in motion an attack that no airstrike can defeat. It's off the radar, can penetrate all parts of the Western world and is barbaric beyond measure.

Only the Taskforce and Pike Logan know about this unanticipated threat. If they can't prevent it, unimaginable chaos will consume the Western world.
