Dalton Drake, a former Canadian Intelligence agent, is leading a relatively normal life with a career in the private sector when he is suddenly thrust back into the world of espionage. When a former colleague visits him in Canada and then is mysteriously murdered, Drake is unwittingly ensnared in a high-stakes mission that takes him half-way across the world. He is enlisted to help track down missing nuclear materials in North Africa and the terrorist intent on using them against the West. In the process, Drake is confronted with an old foe and complicated personal relationships from his past as he works with a team to find the nuclear weapons before it's too late.
