When a concussion at the National Championship Game lands Sam Brock, star quarterback for the University of Oklahoma Sooners, in the hospital, a sample of his blood is tested by a secretive medical research lab.
When the blood is found to have a rare antigen that would lead to a cure for HIV/AIDS, Sam is kidnapped and becomes a pawn in a world unfamiliar and deadly. He draws the attention of two rival clandestine medical research groups...one dedicated to a humanitarian mission to bring the vaccine to the less fortunate of the planet, the other clear in its greed to provide the vaccine to only those wealthy enough to afford the drug.
The cure to HIV/AIDS has also drawn the interest of a powerful religious zealot who believes the coming plague is God's punishment to the immoral and vows to eliminate Sam. He hires two of the world's deadliest assassins to hunt down and kill Sam before he reaches the research lab in Australia. Sam finds the love of his life along the way and must decide his destiny...forsake his freedom to save humanity or pursue his love for Gail...all before the assassin's noose closes in.
