Tim Diamond needs money badly when a stranger offers to buy his overcoat for far more than it's worth. Tim takes the deal without hesitation. Hours later, the buyer is found murdered. The killing drags Tim and his younger brother Nick into a web of international espionage they never saw coming. Nick works as a private investigator, but this case exceeds anything in his experience. Assassins hunt the brothers through the streets. Government operatives mark them for death. The Diamond brothers must discover what made Tim's coat worth killing for while dodging bullets from every direction. Their search leads them deep into a world of state secrets and spy networks where one wrong move means death. Professional killers close in as Tim and Nick fight to stay alive. In the end, the brothers discover that their bond matters more than cracking the case.
