When Alex and Sam take a vacation on board a chartered yacht in the Adriatic, their tranquil escape comes to a grinding halt. In the wrong place at the wrong time, they are drawn into a world of biochemical warfare threatening to destroy countless innocent lives.
What lurks at the center of it all are the remains of a seventeen-hundred-year-old Christian saint whose bones secrete a liquid believed to possess immense healing powers. For centuries the Roman Catholic Church in Italy has kept the elixir sacred; extracted only once a year to heal the sick. However, things go dreadfully wrong, and the revered fluid goes missing.
Now, relying on their unique skills and valor to take on a powerful enemy, Alex and Sam are in a race against time to find the essence and prevent it from landing in the wrong hands. Will they have what is necessary to stop a ruthless enemy before millions of innocent people die?
