John Fitzgerald is on the run, fearing for his life following a failed terrorist raid. Out of desperation he conceives a bold and daring plan: to hijack the supertanker Salah al-Din and its 2 000 000-barrel cargo of black gold. His idea being to deliver it as a "prize of war" to an oil-starved Dutch government, outraged to the point of war by the assassination of one of their diplomats in the oil-rich sheikdom of Al Tufiyah. With his share of the loo, Fitzgerald is convinced that he will be able to buy his way back into the good graces of hiss terrorist bosses.

But as the tanker moves inexorably towards the Rotterdam Delivery, Fitzgerald's greed takes the upper hand and he pushes his plan to its farthest limits. If his staggering demands aren't met, he will engineer an act of horrendous devastation while a helpless world looks on.
