A financial whiz Simon Katz uses his considerable talents to develop a method for moving cash undetected. Enticed by power and money, he readily extends his unique services to the Chicago mob; that is until Simon discovers his partners in crime are reaping millions by offering his system to an international terrorist group. In a sudden moral quandary, and under physical threat, he decides to run. Local police become involved when Simon's date reports him missing. The investigation expands to the FBI as evidence of terrorist involvement comes to light, and tracking the source and destination of Katz's transfers becomes key to thwarting enemy movements throughout the Middle East. Agent Frank Henderson decides to find and follow Katz over several time zones using him as a honey trap to attract and corner his attackers. Simon, however, is clever at outrunning and outwitting all sides until he can leverage his secrets and come out on top.
