Stated plan
Sacrifice the rook to drag the king onto f8 and blow open the kingside pawns for a decisive mating attack.
Reasoning
White has no queen but a powerful pawn duo on g6/h6 aimed at the black king, while black's queen on d2 has strayed deep with no real threats (Qxe2 fails to Nxe2, Qc1+ fails to Rxc1). The rook on f8 is the last real defender near the king. Removing it with a check forces the king into the open, after which hxg7+ rips open the kingside completely, giving White a winning mating attack that outweighs the missing queen. Rxf8+ is essentially forced-response inducing, and after Kxf8 hxg7+ the black king is dragged into a fatal exposure.
