Fate, and the spirits of war bring the cousins together – Stefano the journalist for CNN with ‘Breaking News’, Amir the retired Saudi General recalled to duty, and Padrick Marcus Michael O’Toole ‘Tooley’ the Langley agent now Station Chief in Riyadh.

The Middle East is in turmoil, on the edge of what could be WWIII, Iraqis and Iranians suddenly reaming at breakneck speed and moving their artillery, tanks, planes and armies … but to where? Is there a colossal bloodbath in the future? The cousins, now joined by a surprising addition, discover that the war is … or may not be … all it seems. It could be incredibly worse!

Can they make sense of the actions unfolding in militaries of the regions, or are some of the cousins concealing hidden agenda? Will the militaries descend into the ultimate clash of tank on tank, helo on helo, fighter on fighter, infantry on infantry – or worse! Will it be War or Peace?

Tagline 02 –

The cousins return as Middle East militaries arm and spar in what promises to be the final conflict. Stefano, as the CNN journalist breaking news to the world, confronts conflicts between what he sees and understands of wars past.

Amir is recalled to active duty, promoted and positioned to control forces of great power, and Tooley, fresh from CIA assignments across the globe and stateside, is plopped down as the Riyadh Chief of Station.

Military forces arm, train, move to front lines … poised to start WWIII, until Stefano discovers secret plans which could be far worse.

The ultimate struggle of mankind moves closer, as the so-called ‘Coalition for Peace’ musters its forces to confront … or conduct … war. The demands of the Peace Coalition are clear – but do they mean Peace … or war? Negotiations are sought, conducted and imagined. These contrast with maneuvers and battles to gain supremacy in the air and on the ground.

The cousins seek to contain the momentum building to war, and help Peace prevail, and the anxious world is asked to Light one Candle.
