The Kim Regime is a threat, unstable and unpredictable, no sticks or carrots have stopped the development of a nuclear-tipped missile capable of striking the United States. The intelligence community assures President Larson that Pyongyang is many years away from crossing that red line. Larson knows their longest-range missile can now reach all the population centers on the West Coast. A lone intelligence analyst claims they have a warhead that will work on that missile. Larson calls on Michael Case to get to the bottom of the dispute. What if they have a nuclear-tipped missile on a launch pad? What if they launched that missile, is it a test or targeted at LA, Seattle, or San Francisco? President Larson would have less than thirty minutes to decide what to do, and the technology to shoot it down does not exist.
