Battling against time and odds, two misfit security guards rally to thwart a group of terrorists laying siege to one of California's largest nuclear power plants.
With the help of three inside men, a group of determined extremists target a heavily guarded nuclear power center with the intent to spread deadly radiation. This harsh reality is lost on security guards Cameron Taylor and Grace Baker - who have temporarily deserted their posts to engage in a romantic tryst - allowing the radicals to seize their chance.
A sobering expose into the vulnerability of the nation's power plants, Frank Scozzari's The Wind Guardian is a riveting thriller that details unexpected but plausible threats come to life. Amid ill-timed romance and a renewed sense of obligation, Taylor and Baker rededicate themselves to duty - but has their commitment come too late?
