Lawrence Berger has masterminded an elaborate plot which includes re-creations of infamous murders and bombings.  He has enlisted the aid of an ex Delta Force madman, Carl Apt, to enact the plan as he (Lawrence) is morbidly obese.  Targeting victims responsible for his firing as an abnormal psychology professor, he seeks to besmirch his famous family name. Michael Bennet, and an Irish cop with a priest for a grandfather and a rainbow family, must crack the crime spree.
