Steven Rutland, a charming and amoral British TV reporter, heads for Mexico to relax.

But a chance encounter with a drunken American leads to Steven's presence at a brutal murder. He flees the crime with a beautiful girl, a girl as passionately involved as he is in pre-Columbian art, and the money to be gained by smuggling these priceless antiques. Thus, so easily and so sexually, Steven is lured into a sinister smuggling ring headed by the mysterious Benjamin Seven.

Steven is driven into a world where a psychopathic Indian bodyguard, a top Hungarian archaeologist and a crazed impresario are just some of the extraordinary parade of characters perilously involved in a fast-paced and breathtaking cosmopolitan tale of intrigue, blackmail and violence.
