A part time job with the CIA is fun. That's what Martin Conley thinks until one day a dying KGB agent gives him information that changes his life. Conley sets off for the Wadi Hadhramout to retrieve the codes to a biological weapon that can wipe out America. A beautiful Lebanese girl, Alia, acts as his guide. A storm wrecks their boat on the Yemen shore, leaving them to struggle on, and Alia is abducted by tribesmen. Realizing he has fallen in love with her, Conley rescues Alia, and is drawn into a civil war between North and South Yemen.Conley delivers the codes to his masters but new evidence makes him wonder if the weapon will neutralized - or used against China?There is only one thing to be done: destroy the weapon himself. Defying his CIA masters, Conley and Alia set off on a mission to find and destroy it - but time has run out.
