When brilliant scientist Dr. Benton Quest is kidnapped by the scarred ex‑KGB operative Korchek, his rebellious teenage son Jonny and reluctant bodyguard Race Bannon must track him to a hidden Soviet silo in Cuba. There, Korchek and Quest's former colleague, Jeremiah Surd, are using Quest's own non‑lethal weapon technology to unlock the Brahmastra—an ancient Hindu super‑weapon capable of untold destruction. Racing against time with the help of the mystical street‑kid Hadji and the lethal femme fatale Jade, Jonny and Race must stop Korchek from launching the weapon and destroying the eastern seaboard—while Jonny finally confronts the truth about his mother's murder and his strained relationship with his father.
