The Van Der Byl Diamond Company has been ruled to the death by its founder, Jacob who has bequeathed the invaluable business to his son Benedict, his daughter Tracey, and unexpectedly to Johnny, his estranged foster child and his most bitter rival in diamond hunting. But the inheritance does not come from paternal love, but from inconsolable hatred. But as Tracey and a long lost love enter the fray, what unfolds under the desert sun is a violent life and death struggle of greed, betrayal, passion and murder that could consume them all.
