A New Jersey jeweler has a million-dollar problem. The Russian Mafia has bought his debt paper and wants him to help rob a diamond shipment. He rejects that plan and substitutes his own, launching him and a Mafia man into an international web of criminal deception. The story lays a trail half-way around the world and ends in an FBI chase and a plane crash and struggle for survival in the Bitter Root Mountains of Idaho.
