American businessman Nick Grocchi has been sentenced to seven years in prison in Turkmenistan for a crime he did not commit.  One day he is released to come home to the U.S. to undergo an ultra-experimental genetic protocol for a deadly case of melanoma.  However, surviving skin cancer is not Nick’s only problem. If he’s cured not only does he face being sent back to Turkmenistan to finish his sentence, but a powerful political figure will do whatever’s necessary to assure that Nick does not uncover who framed him and why.
