Plot

Yuri Orlov is a globetrotting arms dealer and, through some of the deadliest war zones, he struggles to stay one step ahead of a relentless Interpol agent, his business rivals and even some of his customers who include many of the world's most notorious dictators. Finally, he must also face his own conscience.

Yuri Orlov abandons his family's restaurant business after witnessing street violence and discovers a talent for selling weapons. With help from his younger brother Vitaly Orlov, he expands from small deals into a vast international operation fueled by war, political instability, and collapsing governments. As Interpol agent Jack Valentine closes in, Yuri builds a luxurious life and marries Ava Fontaine while hiding the truth behind his wealth. Growing pressure from family, law enforcement, and increasingly brutal clients forces Yuri to confront the human cost surrounding his business, even as opportunity continues pulling him deeper.
