Inhalt / Story line:

Auf der Suche nach den Mördern ihres Sohnes kommt die Journalistin Helen (Greta Scacchi) einem Komplott auf die Spur, das das Machtgefüge der Welt verändern könnte.

Der kanadische Ex-Präsident McLaughlin (Paul Gross) hat den Anschluss an die USA betrieben – um selbst US-Präsident zu werden.

Mit der Hilfe seiner Ex-Frau (Martha Burns), einer nicht minder machthungrigen texanischen Politikerin, will er gegen den amtierenden US-Präsidenten (Tom Skerritt) antreten.

Dabei schreckt er auch nicht vor einem inszenierten Attentatsversuch und Wahlfälschung zurück.

Helen kommt einem internationalen Coup auf die Spur, bei dem auch europäische Geheimdienste eine Rolle spielen.

Am Ende muss McLaughlin für seine Skrupellosigkeit bezahlen, aber die Gerechtigkeit siegt trotzdem nicht.

Ein actionreicher und politisch brisanter Thriller, der viele aktuelle Probleme der Weltpolitik aufgreift.

London. Journalist Helen Madigan is investigating the murder of a computer specialist who developed a ghost program intended to manipulate elections.

She, too, is soon pursued by cold-blooded killers who seem to be working for an alliance of secret services.

Strangely, the ghost program contains within it the name of Tom McLaughlin, the last Canadian Prime Minister before Canada's fusion with the United States.

With U.S. Presidents Stanfield intent on invading Saudi Arabia for its oil, McLaughlin runs for the U.S. presidency as a peace candidate.

Fearing that the CIA is planning to rig the next elections, Helen meets with McLaughlin to warn him, but realizes that he, and not the U.S. government, is behind the ghost program.

And that he is the flesh-and-blood "Trojan Horse" that is about to take over the White House with the backing of various European secret services...
