The Syrian War is in its sixth year, confounded by rebel factions, terror outfits, fundamentalists, unscrupulous businesses... and a proxy war between the United States and Russia.

In an incredible aerial snatch-and-grab, 30000 feet over the Aegean Sea, a Russian special-ops team captures rebel financier Leonid Rashnikov.

The incident threatens a two-billion-dollar security contract between security consultant Goldline Solutions and Emirati Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid. Why should I trust you with my security if you could not keep Leonid Rashnikov safe?

With the clock ticking, Goldline Solutions is ready to put everything on the line to restore the Sheikh's confidence.

Aslan 'The Lion' Terzi, a political prisoner incarcerated at the notorious Tadmor Prison, is near suicide when jihadists inexplicably give him a new lease on life. Disillusioned by the depravity of the War, The Lion wants only to get out of Syria. But a chance encounter at the border sets him on one last mission: rescue a woman he loves from a rebel warlord.

In doing so, The Lion inadvertently gains a critical piece of the puzzle faced by Goldline Solutions.

Five strangers. Working on assumptions. No elaborate plan. No inside help. They will attempt the most audacious super-max prison breakout ever attempted on Russian soil.

And there will be a heavy price to pay.
