It is a sweltering day in Mesa, Arizona, when Dr. David Larsen is called into the hospital to perform plastic surgery on a teenager with a facial laceration. When she suddenly dies from an injury undetected by emergency room doctors, David is unfairly blamed. After he loses a lawsuit, his partners fire him, and his wife divorces him, it seems that David's life has unraveled beyond repair.
With a broken heart and no income, David flees to Saudi Arabia, reluctantly leaving his seven-year-old son behind. Hired as the new company physician for Saudia Airlines, David is immediately thrust into a new world of medicine and patient care. But his life is about to change forever when he rescues a beautiful American nurse from a public flogging by a religious policeman. It seems that fate has brought the young couple together, and they begin to fall in love-just as David unintentionally becomes involved with a group of terrorists intent on killing the king of Saudi Arabia.
In this gripping thriller, only time will tell if a doctor and his lover will defeat the evil terrorists and prevent the assassination of a beloved king.
