In Los Angeles, the niece of an esteemed cardinal of the Vatican is abducted by the Albanian mob.

Kimball Hayden, a man without a country or the support of the church, soon finds himself in the crosshairs of an indigenous black-op unit that is trying to terminate him for secrets that could set off a political firestorm.

While Kimball fights for survival on two fronts, he bonds with an unlikely savior: Cardinal Gallo, the man who was instrumental in spearheading court-martial proceedings against Kimball Hayden as a Vatican Knight.

Together with a small unit of Vatican Knights, Kimball quickly discovers that the man behind the black-op forces is commanded by Shari Cohen’s husband, a man with a very dark and sinister past.

Lacking in numbers, Kimball must prove himself to the Vatican by overcoming an Albanian team of precision assassins and a sanctioned kill team from the United States government.

But most of all, he must confront the man behind it all, the husband of Shari Cohen.
