An ever so real and terrifying power play could lead to the rise of new players in a new world order.

Not all of them were however sent to the Caribbean. Some were hidden in a silo on a remote fishing village near Alaska. More than six decades later, a team of Iranian scientists with a Russian agent and his arms-smuggling father take the missiles to Tehran.
