2. Nxe6+ Kf7
3. Nxc7 Rxh7
4. Nxa8 Bxd7
White wins a queen, rook and bishop for a queen, a rook and a pawn.
Perhaps I'm missing something here.
2. Nxe6+ Kf7
3. Rxg7 Kf6
4. Nxd5 Ke5
and then I think it's better to take with the e-knight, but either way you end up with a rook and pawn up against a minor piece, and the black king lost in the centre of the board.

2. Nxe6+ Kf7 or Ke7, it matters not
3. Rxg7+ Kf6
4. Nxd5+ Ke5
5. f4+ Ke4

Beautiful mating net with the knights doing most of the work.
