A young boy flees the city, his mind veiled with amnesia. After a decade in Africa, living with crooks and gold smugglers, Jack Stroll has grown into a hard-hitting and fearless fighter. He returns to America blinded by one obsession, vengeance. NOVA is a high-tech rebel organization fighting an asymmetrical war against Craven, an evil and tyrannical President; but without Jack, NOVA is doomed to failure. Jack is reluctant to get involved; his battle is personal until he meets an old friend and a beautiful girl.
