The Romens, a fanatical domestic eco-terrorist group, launches a reign of terror, mass murder and widespread property destruction across America in order to achieve its ends. Claiming that existing environmental groups such as ELF, ALF, PETA and Greenpeace will fail to save the planet because they are not violent enough, the charismatic Savior, leader of the Resurrection of Mother Earth Now Society, targets those groups who he feels pose the greatest danger to the environment and its inhabitants: gas-guzzling vehicles, Big Tobacco and the nuclear power generation system in a three-phase campaign. The nation's law enforcement resources are mobilized under the leadership of New York Metropolitan Police Department's Commissioner, Harry Cassidy, to stop the Romens as the fate of millions of Americans living in the shadows of the nation's 104 nuclear power plants hangs in the balance.
