Rowan McKenzie, a seasoned journalist and war reporter, is invited by an anonymous billionaire to an exclusive penthouse at One Hyde Park. There he is greeted by Russell, a somewhat shady figure supposedly in charge of security. Russell attempts to peel back the layers of McKenzie’s life as he waits in anticipation for a meeting that will hopefully provide the ransom for his ex-wife Jill Cowen, an internationally recognized aid worker who has been kidnapped by insurgents in Baghdad. As McKenzie’s own subterfuge is unmasked, Russell has news more destructive than anything McKenzie has penned as a journalist, the revelation of which will seal his fate the moment he leaves One Hyde Park.
