Corrupt forces that include a devious FSB agent and the Russian mafia will stop at nothing to take control of the fortune stashed away in Swiss banks. Tatiana, a smart and attractive economist becomes the unwitting ward of these assets through a black book trusted to her by Lev, her childhood friend. She must flee the country leaving behind everything dear to her. A harrowing worldwide chase ensues with Tatiana just a step ahead of an unrelenting, ruthless enemy, but how long will her luck hold out until she stumbles?
