Three men are each moving within the world of organized crime and subterfuge. Their motivations and desires differ, but each plays a part in a complex dance of corruption and greed.
Francis Cranford just discovered he has a twin-a US Air Force General worth $525 million dollars, earned solely because he was adopted into the right family and Francis wasn't. The general is in debt to the Irish mafia, who plan to replace him with Francis and seize the dead twin's wealth. They plan to kill off Francis as well, but neglect to let him in on that part of the plan.
Ty, the boss of the Belfast mafia, and leader of the Irish Republican Army, exerts influence as far away as the United States and the treacherous Gobi Desert. With plans to become the world's financier, Ty's in cahoots with jihadists-when he's not trying to destroy his sometime allies. He craves world-wide dominance.
As for Bert, he's a shady newscaster on the take. While covering stories on the underworld, he's also farming acres of high-priced marijuana, used to finance criminal enterprises at home and abroad.
Three men, each with their own agendas, have fates that will intertwine, as each falls under the spell of ego, death, deception, and most of all....treasure.
