Disillusioned with the continual bloodletting over the years, Mossad operative Jordan Kline resigns and pursues a new career in hotel management. Managing the Sands hotel in the Red Sea resort town of Eilat, Jordan enjoys a restful life together with his girlfriend. The calm is shattered when one of Jordan's former colleagues is murdered and Jordan is drawn back into a violent past where enemy lines are obscured and zealots run the show.

Reluctantly, though with incredible loyalty to his fallen comrade, Jordan begins to unravel a deadly conspiracy that threatens to further engulf the Middle East in war. Through this tyrannical maze he becomes the most hunted man in Israel. Forced to use all his cunning wit and stamina, Jordan must stay one step ahead of men that kill to fulfill deadly ambitions on both sides of the fence. As time runs out and the historic date of the convention in Taba Egypt approaching, Jordan will discover new frontline enemies and old ones he never knew existed. Saving the day has never been so deadly.
