It's Los Angeles in the early seventies, and Stephen Friedman is living the groovy southern California life of a real estate wheeler-dealer. He's making money hand-over-fist and has long ago given up hope of finding the family he'd lost in warn-torn Poland. But when a strange, deceased woman's papers reveal that she possessed a priceless religious relic-and that she may have been his mother-Stephen becomes hungry for answers. His hunger just might kill him. As Stephen frantically pursues his family's lost legacy, someone pursues him-someone equally obsessed with the prize. Looks like the man most obsessed will gain everything. And the loser will lose it all.
