When the major radio transmitter in Scotland blew up, Malcolm Mockingham, Minister of Home Affairs in an independent Scotland, was still partially paralysed after a fanatic's attack. Cabinet and country were divided, and the economy was sinking toward bankruptcy. The explosion was the first move by Bondi, a giant American telecommunications corporation, in its attempt at a political coup. The coup was designed to permit the takeover of Scotland's industrial power and acquire her major land holdings. Mockingham and other independent-minded ministers are seized and a puppet government is installed as a "front" for Bondi. However, not everyone accepts the new order, and a group of people loyal to Scotland and to the former government enlist the aid of Mockingham and others to begin the dangerous task of setting up a counter-coup.
