Philip Schofield is sent to a top-secret US Air Force installation in the Utah desert. After the notoriety of his recent adventures in Antarctica, the Marine Corps decide they want him well out of the media's reach - so assign him to the US President's helicopter known as Marine One.

In this new role, Schofield will be escorting the visiting President on an inspection tour of the base itself. But, already waiting and watching, there are certain people there who don't plan on the head of state ever leaving the place alive.
