The US President Thompson has been dreaming of his own death. A repeating nightmare that hounds him night after night that he can''t ignore: something tells him it''s not just a dream, it feels too real.

Thompson''s doctor, military psychiatrist Josh Cain, is summoned to a church tower near the White House. He thinks he is there to talk down another suicidal ex-Marine. But the man he finds tells him of a plot to kill Thompson, revealing secrets he can''t possibly have known - just seconds before a sniper''s bullet takes him out . . .
