Ken Solomon is by every inch the American dream as a successful rich American entrepreneur and the charismatic President and Chief Executive Officer ( CEO) of Shares.com; one of the most successful and efficient stockbroker firms on Wall Street. Smart, bold and charismatic, KS, as his close friends and business associates fondly called him, mistakenly falls into the trap of the Free-Hands, one of the most notorious cyber-crime syndicates in Africa led by Smoke, a flamboyant Nigerian cyber-crime kingpin and his faithful lieutenants simply known as Flames. The Free-Hands are a smart clique of young Nigerians who survives on other people's money. Their style is to use 'phishing', an electronic communication scam used by cyber-crime criminals, with well crafted 'whaling' mails to lure their victims. Ken Solomon finds himself and his rich reputation suddenly crumbling when he blindly bought into their phony telecommunication deal with some of his client's money. To evade arrest as the pressure from his clients becomes unbearable KS must stay one step ahead to navigate his way out of the most challenging treat to his life and business by embarking on a secret journey to Africa - specifically to Nigeria in search of the faceless crooks who fraudulently conned him $220 million dollars. He sneaks into Nigeria and stumbles across a Nigerian Journalist, Colour. Together, they team up to go after the Free-Hands and his millions. Their plan stimulates an adventure that takes them across the country in a hot chase against the notorious cybercrime gangs which culminates in a clash with the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Can Ken Solomon trace the cyber syndicate in a country he has never been before and get back his money and reputation? What trick can he use against this smart cybercrime gang to get back these two important elements in his life? Who really are the Free-Hands and how do they operate? These are some of the questions he must find an answer to as quick as possible as the pressure on him from America becomes more unbearable and his days to return home tickles away.
