Somewhere in South America, at the home of the country's vice
president, a lavish birthday party is being held in honor of the
powerful businessman Mr. Hosokawa. Roxane Coss, opera's most revered
soprano, has mesmerized the international guests with her singing. It
is a perfect evening—until a band of gun-wielding terrorists takes
the entire party hostage. But what begins as a panicked,
life-threatening scenario slowly evolves into something quite
different, a moment of great beauty, as terrorists and hostages forge
unexpected bonds, and people from different continents become
compatriots. Friendship, compassion, and the chance for great love
lead the characters to forget the real danger that has been set in
motion . .. and cannot be stopped.
