In a dystopian 1970s America, a fascist government is at war with Mexico. An underground revolutionary is tortured by government agents, so radicals take action through guerrilla warfare, but victory may not come easy for them.

"An underground revolutionary group struggles against internal strife to stage urban guerilla attacks against a fictionalized fascist regime in the United States. Interspersed throughout the narrative are rhetorical sequences that explain the philosophy of radical action and restrain the melodrama inherent in the thriller genre."—Laurence Kardish, Museum of Modern Art
