Bolivia - October 1967. U.S. Agent Michael Conroy is present at the capture and execution of Che Guevara. Unbeknownst to him, the village schoolteacher there is carrying Guevara's unborn child - and Conroy has saved her life.

Puerto Real, Cuba - The Present. Marita Linares, dying of cancer, decides to tell her son the astonishing truth. Overwhelmed, and bitter to realize the treachery of Fidel Castro towards the man who was his father, Ramon, now a professional soldier, vows vengeance. Discovering that Cuba and America are considering an alliance, he plans a chilling act of terrorism in the United States that will both avenge his father and discredit Castro's tarnished regime.

Thus begins a terrifying death dance across Central America - to the Middle East and back - as Ramon carries out his plan to steal funds for the purchase of military hardware. Always one step ahead, he is pursed by a vengeful drug cartel, Cuban agents, and by Conroy himself. All are desperate to find this man - no matter what the cost.

But only Michael Conroy can guess the awful truth of Ramon's real target - and the horrifying devastation that will ensue.
