Jack Hudson, the UK Government's Foreign Secretary, is brutally assassinated in his home. His brother, Peter, in attempting to discover his brother's murderer, uncovers a secret society known as Schengen that has been working toward realising the prophecy of the Fourth Reich since the end of the Second World War. Hudson is framed for his brother's murder, and as Schengen's net draws tighter around him, he enlists the help of his ex-wife in a race against time to save himself and Europe from the grips of Schengen and an Al Queda plot that would see the continent changed forever.
