An Al Qaeda cell emerges from an abandoned military base in Montauk, New York, ready for another violent act of sabotage, this time aimed at the fabulously wealthy Hamptons. Against a backdrop of glitz and glamour multiple hurricanes of violence bear down on the totally clueless. "Animus" races forward with murders, kidnappings, betrayals, and the arrival of a secret team from Delta Force. A wild chase across the wind-swept rocks around the Montauk Lighthouse will provide a slam-bang climax to the tale.
