The Terrorist takeover of the chemical plant is headline news and the dramatic events on the ground are initially broadcast from the air by a news helicopter. When the chopper is shot down by the terrorists, only one survivor remains to relay the story to the world - news cameraman Ben Harrison. Ben emerges from the wreck with his camera intact and finds himself in a unique position to record events, but with no weapon he must rely on his wits to survive.

Ben has been working as a news cameraman for the CHZ news network for 4 years. During his time at the station, he has only been covering small local stories; he hopes one day to be given the chance to cover something bigger.

On the day of the attack he is sent to cover a small chemical spillage from the plant which occurred the previous week. Together with news reporter Amy McCall, he makes his way to the plant situated 4 miles north of the city. Once there, they take some aerial footage of the plant before filming Amy's report at the entrance to the facility. During the filming of Amy's report, a massive explosion rips through the east side of the complex, sending a plume of smoke hundreds of feet into the air. This is soon followed by the sound of gunfire and shouting. Ben radios for the news helicopter to return as soon as possible, enabling them to cover the breaking story from the air.

After some time covering the events, their attention is captured by a fire fight near the workers quarters. Moving in to get a closer look, they see part of the US team engaging the terrorists in a ferocious battle. Ben begins filming the action when he observes a female plant worker nearby, waving her arms to attract their attention. Ben motions the pilot to descend in order to attempt her rescue when a terrorist emerges from a building and fires a surface to air missile directly at the helicopter. There is a large explosion as the missile strikes and the helicopter plummets from the sky.

Some time later, regaining consciousness, Ben discovers he is the sole survivor of the crash and resolves to continue shooting footage from inside the plant.

Playing as Ben the player will move stealthily around the facility, attempting to take exclusive footage of the terrorists, Delta Force and terrified plant workers. Once Ben has uncovered the terrorist plot, he must attempt to get out of the plant alive.

Ben Harrison will be directed by his news company to get good shots of the terrorists and hostages. He will have to attempt to infiltrate areas full of terrorists without being detected. Once in position he can take pictures which then appear in news bulletins. Ben has no weaponry and cannot take the terrorists on in a fight - he must use other means to make it through alive, sneaking past enemies and avoiding detection.

Ben continues to do his job and report the news as he carries a small news camera around with him.
