Nicolas Creed is a billionaire many times over, he own one of the largest company in the world that sells to every country
worldwide, from the smallest to the largest. But one faithful day he decided that he needed a war, not just a verbal war but an all out war.
Mr. Creed is the owner of the multi national weapons company, they supply not only the US with armory but also China and Russia.  After the war in Irag, the USA people was fed up with anything name war even the word they wanted nothing to do with and instead was spending on education and bridges etc, this mean the projection of Ares (the company owned by Mr. Creed) profit would fall short of what it should be, but could that be the only reason why a man said to one of the fifteenth richest man in the world wanted to start a war.
Mr. Shaw a completor, a man who seek out terrorist and eliminate them, he works for the US government but very few actually know he exist, a man on a mission.  He fell in love and wanted to get out, marry and settle down but was held captive by his boss, who was not his boss.  Frank the boss tried to ruin the marriage before it started and invaded Mr. Shaw private life by visiting Shaw's finance' parents and also his finance' to ensure that the wedding never happen.  What they didn't know was that the wedding was doom to fail even if they didn't visit the parents.  Someone else would be making the decision of whether they lived or died, marry or not.
Katie James is a reporter that won two pulitzer, but the final couple of years have been rough, she started drinking and forgetting her assignments, start slurring her words until finally she was sent to write for the death columns, she knew that in order for her to get back to the top she got to find a story but not just any story, a story that would open every one eyes to accept her again.  Her life is about to change drastically, she was at the wrong place and saw things she should not see, and met Mr. Shaw in a very uncomfortable position, several days later she was sent to get the scope on a tragic death of over 30 persons, one of which she knew personally, in fact previous to the day she got the job she was at the place that the massacre took place.
The war begun between China and Russia, both playing the blame game, both refusing to back down with the world looking over their shoulders waiting for the juggler to fall but knowing once it fall theirs no going back.  The United State begging for negotiation, Russia want $90m China laughed in their face and want compensation for the people they killed.  The Russia refusing  to give but move their troop closer to the border and China did the same.  Anxious men not knowing what is happening but know that they need to protect themselves and their country.
The War begun because one man is BORED!!!!!!!!  needed Power!!!!!!!! it necessary !!!!!!!!! but one man will do anything to get revenge for the death of the one person who have ever love him.
