Three sailors embark on a road trip from Santa Barbara to Ensenada, Mexico to take delivery of a sailboat. But before they can leave, Tom, who is the captain of the vessel, becomes involved in a traffic accident with the Price of Pop Jeremy Princeton. Concerned for Toms well-being, Jeremy insists Tom accompany him to his Santa Ynez estate Tierra Bella to consult with his in-house physician. While visiting the estate, Jeremys art consultant Peter Harrison shows him two paintings; a Renoir and a Rembrandt, which have been stolen from the Swedish National Museum and which were shipped to Jeremy anonymously in a shipment of musical instruments. Also in Jeremys possession is a mystical sphere called the Black Piper which is a mysterious and supernatural relic that at first is a god-send, but later becomes a curse. Enter Stephanie Kensington, an Interpol agent and Lynne Northland, an FBI paranormal psychologist who are assigned the Swedish National Museum case. The duo team up with a Swedish cop and a CIA agent to solve the mystery.

The Curse of the Black Piper is a light hearted tongue-in-cheek fictional adventure about three rogue sailors on a lark whose mischievous inclinations lead them into a labyrinth of extreme danger and mystical intrigue amidst the backdrop of todays contemporary world scene.
