The story

The CVN news network's nightly program, starring Don Tobin (Patrick Watson), with reports from correspondents Michael Boyle (Scott Glenn) and Dorian Waldorf (Helen Shaver), discusses a terrorist bombing of the American embassy in Saudi Arabia that killed an American ambassador. The week before, a global banking crisis, caused by several South American countries defaulting on their loans, led to turmoil in Southwest Asia. Before the unrest spread to Saudi Arabia, Soviet-backed militants led a coup in Oman when the Omani economy collapsed.
