When Jim Cross finds terrorists committing murder on the property he's appraising, his surprise is matched by that of the men who capture him. Now, Jim is imprisoned on a remote estate, facing certain death. In his struggle to be free, Jim will set in motion a series of events that will have terrible consequences. Events that just might end in war.
On the other side of the globe Roushana, the daughter of the man who owns the estate where Jim struggles toward freedom, will have her life turned upside down by what happens there. And in the end, she, with Jim's help, may be the only one on Earth with the power to prevent an atomic war.
