Danny Archer è un ex mercenario della Rhodesia che contrabbanda diamanti durante la guerra civile, scoppiata in Sierra Leone sul finire degli anni Novanta. Arrestato sul confine con la Liberia, finisce in carcere dove incontra Solomon Vandy, un pescatore separato dalla sua famiglia dopo la feroce irruzione dei ribelli del Fronte rivoluzionario nel suo villaggio. Indicato pubblicamente per avere nascosto un diamante di grande caratura, Solomon accende l’interesse di Archer. In cambio della libertà e della promessa di ritrovare la sua famiglia, finita in un campo profughi dove si sono raccolte oltre un milione di persone, Solomon decide di condurre Archer al diamante. Con l’aiuto di Maddy Bowen, una giornalista idealista e appassionata, i due uomini intraprendono un viaggio alla ricerca di un bene più prezioso.
