Archie, an orphaned young Israeli man, shows promise under his mentor, a powerhouse international banker from Vienna. Soon after, Archie's financial acumen makes him a successful, wealthy consultant and philanthropist known throughout Europe. Yet all the money Archie gives away won't assuage his guilt for a broken promise. When a beautiful Palestinian lawyer introduces Archie to a rising dissident leader who seeks his help breaking the claws of Soviet dogma, will it bring danger to him and those he loves?
