 When terrorists start killing scientists who are working on NATO s laser defense , an elite team, the Counter Assault Tactical (C.A.T.) Squad, are brought in to to stop the killers. The squad consists of five members. The leader (Joseph Cortese) is totally ruthless as a military type, but is a pussycat with his dancer lover. His second-in-command (Steve James) also has his compassionate side as he deals with his hearing-impaired son. The third member is the expected explosives expert (Jack Youngblood), whose twist here is that he is a total outdoorsman and absolutely hates cities. the fourth member (Patricia Charbonneau) is a forensics expert who loves to play poker. The remaining member (Bradley Whitford) is a young language expert.
