Survivor of six plane crashes, well known in the fields of armament and aviation, and one of the richest men in Europe, businessman Zsa-zsa Korda begins work on his newest enterprise: the Korda Land and Sea Phoenician Infrastructure Scheme. Concerned that he is not long for this world, Korda leaves the entirety of his estate to his daughter, Sister Liesl, a nun whom he has not spoken to in over six years. As Korda and Liesl work to make the Scheme a success, they quickly become the targets of assassins, terrorists, and tycoons, all looking to K*ll Korda and impede his business in any manner possible.
