Yuri Orlov è un trentenne ucraino immigrato con la famiglia negli Stati Uniti con tanta voglia di emergere, ma pochi mezzi per farlo. Un giorno l'uomo intuisce che il traffico d'armi può diventare il suo passaporto verso la vita agiata che ha sempre sognato e infatti, in breve tempo, conquista tutto ciò che desidera: soldi, potere e la donna dei suoi sogni. Alla sua rapida ascesa si oppone però Jack Valentine, un giovane agente idealista dell'Interpool.
