After Hank Simmons caught his wife cheating with his editor, he fled the hustle and bustle of the big city, and moved away with his four children to a small one-horse town in northern Michigan. All is well until the peace and tranquility is suddenly shattered when a terrorist cell group from Detroit is infiltrated by FBI Special Agent Richard Resnik. Resnik follows the terrorists to Grand Rapids, but underestimates the leader, Momin Islam, who attempts to detonate one of two nuclear suitcase bombs, and then flees north, with Agent Resnik in pursuit. Everything comes to a head when Momin stops in Freidham Ridge for gasoline and a simple bite to eat. Resnik is compelled to join forces with Hank and the townspeople to prevent the terrorist from exploding the second nuclear suitcase bomb.
