Cade
ventures to Boston and poses as a university student to find
out more about a university genius who was found dead with "bubbles
in his blood" (The Bends). He finds out about a planetary
defense system that the student was working on, in which
satellites in orbit around the Earth are equipped with nuclear
warheads, to use in the event of an alien invasion. A mysterious
lady who is working for the aliens, is trying to destroy the
satellites to cause a rain of nuclear material to enter the
Earth's atmosphere, killing millions of people. Cade has to
race against the clock to deactivate the self-destruct on the
satellites.
