Something appeared to be amiss in the Anglo-Indian town of Landsend - Doug Geoghegan could feel it as he drove to work that morning. The two young men whom he'd noticed by the Cross Road looked hardened and desperate, and very familiar. About an hour later, all hell broke loose when 25 children of the Mount St. Joseph School and their teacher were taken hostage by two armed men. What made it personal was that Doug's wife, the school's Headmistress had also been with them at that time! Doug decided to act rather than just sit tight and wait for the police - but would he be able to get the children and the ladies with them to safety?
