While her lover, David Townsend, is piloting a Boeing-777 across the Atlantic, Irina Marisovna receives a call from her distraught aunt in the Ukraine. Her cousin, an active 17 year old, has gone missing without a trace and the mother has no clue how to find her. Irina drops everything and heads to Kiev to help locate the missing girl and finds a disturbing trend of unexplained disappearances of young women. During her investigation, Irina is caught up in the human trafficking business conducted by the Russian Mafia to supply their U.S. branch with beautiful women for their lucrative escort business. Drugged and in the pipeline, Irina crosses the Atlantic to New York's Brighton Beach carrying contraband uncut diamonds that have become a collateral side of the unsavory business.

When Townsend returns to London, Irina's father is waiting to tell him of Irina's disappearance and they head to Kiev in an attempt to locate her and the wayward cousin. They are just a few days late but are able to track down the perpetrators of the abduction and ascertain the logistical plan by employing unconventional but effective interrogation methods.

The next stop is New York where they meet their friend and colleague Billy Ray Benfield who has been using his access to the NSA computer system to begin formulating a plan to locate and free the two women from the clutches of the Russian organized crime family. Part of the plan is to ensure that justice is extracted for Irina and all of the other unfortunate women caught up in this affair.

From Brighton Beach to the cloistered hills of central Connecticut to Bevery Hills, the team puts together an intricate plan to act as puppet master to bring down an organization that has eluded the FBI for too many years.
