Sent by his employer to attend a harmless insurance conference, Nathan Parker flies to an island paradise, a warm spot to escape the cold Ohio winter. And an ideal place to rekindle a lost love.
But there is no warm welcome here. Before he can even leave the airport, thieves accost him. Far worse, his girlfriend disappears right before his eyes, leaving no trace. Yet his problems have just begun. He is followed, and armed thugs try to kill him. Then he receives a call demanding an exchange: the girl for their missing item. The trouble is, Nathan doesn’t have it. He never did.
Fending off the distractions of an insurance fraud investigation back home, training a new hire, and attending the conference, Nathan pleas with the local authorities for help in finding her. But the police, who don’t find any evidence of a kidnapping, cast him off as an annoying tourist.
Until a deadly blast proves him right.
How can this peaceful tourist destination warrant theft, kidnapping, and murder? It makes no sense. Yet with each step, Nathan is pulled deeper into a web of conspiracy and terrorism. And the secret mission he uncovers is far more sinister than abduction. At stake is the fate of the entire Western world. Finally reunited, Nathan and his girlfriend must face the daunting task of taking on the terrorists, and do it quickly. Because time is critical. Tick tock. The clock is winding down to zero.
