Disgraced peer Lord Teddy Thursby has made the accquaintance of Harry Starks through a mutual friend. He has also made the accquaintance of young African businessman John Ogungbe, who is heading up a property development scheme on the outskirts of Lagos.

Harry wants in, and Teddy wants him in, but as time progressess, it looks more and more like Ogungbe has been taking the pair for a ride. And no one takes Harry for a ride. Things come to a head when Harry drags Teddy on a plane to Lagos to deal with Ogungbe face-to-face.
