Carlos is a merciless negotiator. His mother is an important United Nations diplomat. His talent and his mother’s contacts are about to put him at the top: a seven-figure salary and a cushy office job in New York with his wife Susana, the only woman who ever made him want to settle down and be a father. But first he has to go to Africa and mediate in a kidnapping that has endangered a million-dollar contract. He might not be an expert in this type of situation, but he’s the right man for the job: the terrorist behind the kidnapping is an old friend from back when Carlos was doing volunteer work in the country. His personal and professional lives overlap and Carlos is faced with the biggest decision he will ever have to make.
