It's the summer of 1991, eight months after the Berlin Wall fell. Professor Auturo Martinelli, a Nobel Prize recipient is on the verge of discovering a cure for cancer, but instead he opened a Pandora's Box of something more disparaging than either the atomic or nuclear bombs. His discovery is so destructive in nature that it makes atomic and nuclear bombs look like pea shooters. Unlike the atomic or nuclear bombs, Professor Martinelli's formula is exacting in its target: Annihilation. Professor Martinelli reached out to the President for assistance, but his call for help was intercepted by government parties unknown. It's a race against time as corrupt forces of the United States government agencies set out to obtain Professor Martinelli's Formula by any means necessary. But little do they realize that he will never surrender his formula. As far as the safety of the project goes, no one can be trusted and we are all...expendable.
