Plot

G8 intelligence services locate Pakistani arms trafficker and terrorist mastermind Aamir Barkawi at his compound and authorize a drone strike during his daughter's wedding, killing Barkawi's family and presumably Barkawi himself.

Two years later, the British Prime Minister James Wilson has suddenly died, and the G7 leaders prepare to attend his funeral in London. Secret Service Director Lynne Jacobs assigns Agent Mike Banning to lead U.S. President Benjamin Asher's overseas security detail, although Banning's wife Leah is shortly to give birth. Air Force One lands at Stansted Airport, and Banning arranges an earlier arrival at Somerset House in London via Marine One.
