Somehow, somewhere a secret list of ultra-radical college students has been smuggled out of a federal prison. At J.Edgar Hoover's direction, a covert plan has been concocted to coerce young Americans into becoming undercover agents in a desperate attempt to ����ind that list and neutralize the Weather Underground before it can join forces with the Black Panthers. Sean O'Neal leaves the tough streets of South Boston to become a Green Beret and fight a guerilla war in the jungles of Vietnam. He returns home with his life shattered, and finds himself ensnared in Hoover's plan. Jack Duncan, a child of the counter-culture, leaves college to travel overseas. What he doesn't know is that the FBI has put him directly in Sean O'Neal's crosshairs.
