An old friend invites Bryan Reed to North Africa and a surprise found on a photograph draws Bryan and a female companion deeper into the desert. There they find a relic from the Second World War that contains secret documents that could upset energy markets and world stability. The death of two people at an energy conference in Brussels results in the release of key computer files that threaten many in power and the governments they lead. The biggest threat for some may be revenge that comes from many directions at once. For Bryan Reed, revenge is an option, but how to do it right is the question.
