Terrorists seal one end of New York City's Lincoln Tunnel and place a missile at the other, threatening to activate it-unless they are paid millions in ransom. Trapped inside are hundreds of commuters, including a car load of druglords heading for a huge deal, and the undercover DEA agent who has set them up. Outside, the FBI and the NYPD battle over solutions. Police Captain Jake Maloy is inclined to act first and worry about paperwork later. Plus, Malloy knows that the woman he loves-DEA agent Jo Velez is in double danger.
