Just five short words, but delivered by Lucas they have accounted for the deaths of two men and probably many more.
Lucas, once the dictator of an Asian country and now an exile in London, is angry over his loss of power and potentially a menace. He is cunning and resourceful and not without charm. Tension grows between Lucas and Helen Berlin, a young and clever woman police officer who has been given the task of watching over him. She wants him arrested, but someone high up is protecting him. Who and for what reason?
