On the other side of the world in central Africa, expat supervisor Bill Parker and his day shift foreman have just pulled a strange silver ball from the company's crushing machine. Parker has no idea that the ball he takes home and leaves in an ashtray beside his bed is a two-million-year-old artifact that has the potential to change the world forever. Meanwhile, back in America, Agent Jones has just made his own discovery-a one-hundred-year-old secret is hidden within the country's vast financial system, propelling Jones on a paper chase that will eventually lead him into the darkest regions of Africa.

As both men are drawn together in a momentous struggle between good and evil that takes a violent turn, they must decide if the fate of the world is better left alone.
