The First Kingdom Files

Three generations ago a highly secret mid-east conspiracy known among its leaders as The First Kingdom, was undertaken by a small group of extremely wealthy men. The conspiracy’s avowed purpose is to cripple the western world.

After millions in investment and clandestine training, the conspiracy has infiltrated into the fabric of the west’s vulnerable underbelly. Only a few steps remain to be taken to set the final stages in motion. At the close of Desert Storm, a single file along with several millions in cash was stolen from The Kingdom by a trusted clerk. The file has the power to unmask the conspiracy. Agents of The Kingdom have been dispatched throughout the globe to find the traitor and retrieve the file- at all costs before it is too late. After several years of searching, the agents have tracked the file to a New York Attorney. Time is not on their side!
