1976, war-torn Beirut.
An unknown band of armed men blast their way into the Imperial Bank of Beirut. Over the next 48 hours they load up three trucks with gold bullion, and the raiders and the loot disappear forever.
But whilst the heist went like clockwork, they are forced to hide the loot and make their getaway. Thirty years later, they are planning their return. . .
The only problem is that a powerful and ruthless enemy is hell bent on finding the gold before them. So begins a race against time to get to the gold before the deadly Black Assassins group can catch up with them.
