Montaro Caine built the Fitzer Corporation from nothing. Now he watches it slip from his grasp while his teenage daughter spirals into trouble. A mysterious couple arrives at his office carrying a coin unlike anything on Earth. Montaro recognizes it immediately. Years ago as an MIT graduate student, he analyzed its twin before the owner reclaimed it. This new coin attracts scientists, collectors, and thieves who will do anything to possess it. Montaro believes the discovery might rescue his failing company. But the coin's true power lies elsewhere. It connects people across continents and decades. A young woman carries its mark from birth. An elderly man once carved a wooden gift for the young Montaro. On a Caribbean hilltop, healer Matthew Perch understands why these lives have converged. He knows what message the coin brings. Sidney Poitier crafts an adventure that spans from New York boardrooms to remote islands, revealing how ordinary people discover extraordinary connections.
