Description
A high-powered Middle-Eastern executive falls prey to German terrorists and is kidnapped. A huge ransom is demanded but, the kidnappers don't know the true stakes of the game they have dealt themselves into. The victim is part of an extraordinary plan to extort billions from the oil-rich governments of the Middle East.
