In Shannon Airport, American military planes off-load a mysterious cargo destined for a secret location in Ireland.

The box smashes, releasing a silver canister that ends up on 'Makeout Point', killing two young lovers in their car. From here, all hell breaks loose – Who is the mysterious Professor Wigand, and what is his role in these ghastly events? Can our young hero, Garda Cormac McKee, crack the case and save his girl, the beautiful but challenged Katie Hamelton? What has the sinister General Earl McCarthy got in store for our heroes? And just what in the hell is 'The Draft'?

Conscription, also known as the draft in American English, is the practice in which the compulsory enlistment in a national service, mainly a military service, is enforced by law. Conscription dates back to antiquity and it continues in some countries to the present day under various names. The modern system of near-universal national conscription for young men dates to the French Revolution in the 1790s, where it became the basis of a very large and powerful military. Most European nations later copied the system in peacetime, so that men at a certain age would serve 1 to 8 years on active duty and then transfer to the reserve force. In the early 2000s, Norway and Sweden became the first nations to conscript women on the same legal terms as men. In 2025, Denmark ruled to implement a similar system.
