On a wintery early evening in cold, hard Memphis, the chase is on for a murderous bank robber with a secret - one he is willing to offer his life to reveal. The fugitive, a Nigerian with a terroristic past, is on a special mission for Allah, or so he believed until he uncovered the lie that turned his world upside-down. Across town, an apparently middling and reckless playboy doctor is starting his shift in the emergency room. But he has a secret too - one he has worked hard to conceal. As a child, Paul Gudrun knew he had special talents. But they were the wrong kinds of skills for a white boy from the slums. Standing out on the streets often made you the brunt of violence and ridicule. But when he accidently hurt someone he cared for, he buried his abilities under a veil of public mediocrity. That was over twenty years ago, and now he is content with his two-faced life. Before midnight, their secrets will collide. The Nigerian, Abdullah Burja, is wounded and rushed to Gudrun's hospital. There he shares his secret with Dr. Gudrun, a cryptic poem unknowingly placing Paul at the center of an international conspiracy dating back to mid twentieth century Britain and a wicked betrayal in a professor's home. Suddenly, Paul Gudrun's new-found knowledge makes him the target of both the FBI and a covert Special Operations paramilitary group hell-bent on containing the breach at all costs. Framed for murder and marked for death, he and his girlfriend Amber find themselves on the run, forcing him to unleash the skills and talents that he has worked so hard to keep hidden. But all is not at it seems. Nothing is random. And Abdulla and Paul share a deeper bond. It is a secret neither knew they were keeping - for a destiny far greater than either could possibly have imagined.
