Plot

Ludovico Vicedomini is a charismatic dealer in precious stones, at ease in both Europe and the Middle East. His charm makes him persuasive and well-liked, but it also conceals a dangerous secret: he and his business partner, Shahid, are planning a large-scale terrorist attack.

With the conspiracy almost ready, Ludovico meets Alceo and beautiful Leda, a married couple who enjoy holidays in Turkey. They do not suspect they are participating in a mysterious and deadly game with Ludovico and his partner.

However, fate takes hold of Ludovico, who becomes infatuated with Leda. She, receiving a precious ring from the merchant, must now choose between her husband and the mysterious man who fell in love with her.
