One man, wealthy and politically powerful, plots to assassinate all the inmates in the Texas state prison system in a single, horrific night. Driven by vengeance for his daughter's murder and frustration with the growing criminal problems of the state, he sets his plan into action in the waning days of his life. His existence has been influenced by the knowledge of a harrowing birth of twins, as it was retold to him many times as a child, in which he was the only survivor. Dual personalities result from his inauspicious beginnings - one good, one evil with the darker side gaining dominance. 
A detective, with his own nightmarish links to the plotter, discovers hints of the plan and attempts to stop it. In his confrontation with the old man, will he be able to do so? Will he even want to as the possibilities address his own principles and opinions? 
Unknown to the aged schemer until the final moments, someone close to him is imperiled by the plot. Can love of family overcome hatred for the condemned? 
Others, villains and innocents, alike, are embroiled in the prevention or execution of the act. Texas, Lebanon and Vietnam are all involved in bringing a widely disparate cast of characters to their shared conclusions.
