TV reporter Bob Roberts thinks he's rolled up on the scene of another homicide in a city that seemingly has one each day. What he discovers though is a murder which is only the tipping point for a day of death and destruction, all aimed to provide cover for a daring museum robbery. With ancestry that traces to the days of the Russian Tsar Alexi, Magdelena Romanov Boriskovski leads a small but well trained and controlled group-which includes the number two person in the metro police department into a murderous spree. Dodging bullets, and surviving exposions, Robers and Sargent Julie Carlin piece together most of the plot, but then have to figure out who will listen to them.
