The Alaskan Incident

At the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, a nuclear-armed B-52 bomber goes missing in Alaska. No trace of the aircraft is found and the United States Government chooses to keep the disaster secret to avoid further inflaming domestic and international tension. The disappearance is known as the ‘Alaskan Incident’. In 2008, a Californian computer programmer, Scott Powell, is developing software that he hopes can be used to locate missing aircraft. When he discovers what appears to be the tail section of a B-52 bomber in a remote part of Alaska, he unknowingly embarks on a course from which there is no turning back. Framed by someone interested in recovering nuclear material for clandestine purposes, Powell is soon being hunted down by the police and the FBI. In a race against time and the need to avoid high-tech mass surveillance, he has to prove his innocence before plutonium found in the wreck can be used in a terrorist attack – or he is killed in the process.
