Set against the backdrop of civil war and chaos in 1990's Sierra
Leone, Danny Archer, a South African mercenary, and Solomon Vandy,
a Mende fisherman are joined in a common quest to recover a rare
pink diamond that can transform their lives. While in prison for
smuggling, Archer learns that Solomon--who was taken from his
family and forced to work in the diamond fields--has found and
hidden the extraordinary rough stone. With the help of Maddy Bowen,
an American journalist whose idealism is tempered by a deepening
connection with Archer, the two men embark on a trek through rebel
territory, a journey that could save Solomon's family and give
Archer the second chance he thought he would never have.
