London art gallery proprietor Nigel Dearlove arrives in New York City with nothing more sinister in mind than sponsoring and promoting the EuroMerica exhibit, an exhibition of new-wave artistic talent from Europe. It's his first trip to the states, and he is thrilled by the prospect of an exciting and prosperous visit. Fate intervenes, however; his striking resemblance to a "diplomat-gone-defender" who recently liberated sixty-thousand Costa Rican refugees has him slated for a more adventurous trip than he could ever have planned for.
