A radical cell of the IRA Provos launches a conspiracy to form a Celtic Nation comprised of the Celtic areas in Europe, plus Boston and Costa Rica. Liam Murphy sets up a base in Boston under the guise of a Celtic Cultural organization and develops a cadre of leaders throughout the Celtic areas.When the conspirators complete the organization they need to govern the Celtic areas, they start planning how they will wrest control of these areas from their respective countries. It becomes obvious that negotiations or military actions will not work. They decide that only nuclear blackmail will succeed.Iraq had secretly developed three nuclear weapons and Liam's group smuggles these weapons out of Iraq. Lacking a delivery system, the conspirators simply attach radio controlled detonators to the weapons and dump them into the sea off the coasts of France, Spain, America, and England. Once detonated, these weapons would cause immense tidal waves wreaking havoc for several miles inland. Federal Agent Angelo Spaziani is tasked with preventing this disaster.
