Master burglar Priest has just stolen a microchip from a high-end research laboratory--but when he plants the microchip on the unsuspecting Devante, he's quickly drawn into a gunfight that could potentially seal both their fates.
The microchip, containing a revolutionary breakthrough in agricultural science, is in high enough demand that the lab hires a ruthless assassin named Hades to retrieve it. What's worse, Priest's heroics has drawn him unwanted attention. Including that of two Greek crime families bent on revenge, and Interpol agent Greco Karavolis, who has ties to both Hades and one of the crime families.
Priest prepares to meet with the highest bidder, but instead finds himself the target in an abandoned political prison on an uninhabited Greek island. All his enemies have their motives, but they also all share one common thread: they want him dead.
It will take all his cunning to get out of this one.
