Millionaire businessman Charlie Ravich is a survivor whose brutal experience as a POW in Vietnam has more than prepared him for the cut-throat world of global commerce. Now in his late fifties, with his family dying out, Charlie is about to make his greatest speculation yet.
Enter Christina, a voluptuous Ivy League dropout whose affair with Rick Bocca, a member of a big-time truck-theft ring run by mobster Tony V, landed her in prison.
