Detective Joe Leland investigates the murder of a gay man, and he discovers a link between the murder and a trail of corruption in New York City. Many years later, he visits his daughter Stephanie Leland Gennaro at the Klaxon Headquarters in Los Angeles on Christmas Eve. While he waits for the Christmas Party to end, the building gets overrun with terrorists led by Anton Gruber aka Little Tony the Red. Leland manages to get away barefoot, with only a pistol, and plans to stop the terrorist attack himself.
