Set at some point in the near future, the world is coming together, leaving the wars of nationalism behind. However, nationalistic interests are still attempting to destroy the emerging Representative World Government. The Chairman, the architect of the emerging World Government and his principle agent, Block, work to prevent those interests from destroying the movement toward unity.

The latest attempt, by an unknown agent of darkness, seeks to flood the world with money, leading to the collapse of international trade and a resurgence of nationalism and the petty wars it fosters.

Block is set on the trail of a vicious assassin who has eliminated three of the four principle technicians responsible for money regulation and stolen both their access cards and their passwords. All the assassin needs is the remaining access card and password to flood the world with illicit money and bring trade to a halt.

The possessor of the last card and password has mysteriously gone missing.

Block sets off in search of the murderer, a trip that initially takes him to Acapulco. The Chairman, aware that Block tends to leave bodies strewn in his wake, sends another agent, Shandra, to clean up after him.

However, in Acapulco Block runs into an evil far greater than he could have imagined and mistaking the evil as the source of the currency threat, takes off to eliminate that evil.

Unknown to both The Chairman and Block, however, the murderer is right at hand, working closely to The Chairman, setting up a final confrontation that pits the elimination of evil with the possibility of redemption.
