The General that is missing is Stephen Brail, the head of the Nigerian Military Intelligence Unit. As at the time of his disappearance beside River Benue, he has with him a bag containing a huge amount of money, a controversial compact disc that can change the political setting of the country, and a copy of the military intelligence report - a document containing top military secrets that must never get to the enemy's camp. So the moment the news of his disappearance breaks, over one thousand armed men are hurriedly dispatched to the villages at the other side of the river, for a desperate search for him. But most of them are not really looking for Brail, they are looking for his bag. The Fulani men, who had him in their possession, are after the money in his bag. The Nigerian Army as well as the northern based insurgents are after the intelligence report while James Sydney, an ex-commando, hired by a top politician, is after the compact disc. Perhaps, the only people looking for Brail are the States Security Service agents, Simon Habby and Andryl Parker, who have orders, directly from Aso Rock, to find Brail alive for the president is convinced that Brail knows a secret that is vital to the nation's security and which he must not die with. But will Habby and Parker get to Brail before the military, the terrorists and the commando? That is even if Brail is still alive.
