Mike Lee is a radio reporter who has been contracted to follow a group of mercenaries to retrieve $100,000,000.00 in gold bullion lost in the Afghan desert. What he finds out on his trip to this hostile environment is that he has unwittingly become the ploy his unscrupulous employer sent in to track the mercenaries who were supposed to get the gold. During his trooping through the tunnels of the mountains of Afghanistan, he becomes embroiled in an international conspiracy dealing not with just gold but U238 uranium and the centrifuge tubes to enrich it to nuclear capability. What is a radio reporter doing in this mess?
