VENEZUELA, sexy and dangerous.

A mysterious satellite known as THE BLACK KNIGHT that crashes there.

Sparks fly when former NASA scientist, Dr. Nick Avery, is forced by Federal agent, Petria Sinovski, to surrender his research data on the satellite.  Where is it...whose is it...and why has it dropped off the radar?

Avery's explanation is not what Sinovski wants to hear.  The Black Knight is a space relic from the lost continent of Atlantis.

Suddenly, a band of mercenaries arrive on the scene.  They want the satellite, too, and will do anything to get it.

It's attraction versus antagonism as Avery and Sinovski must outrun the mercenaries in a race that leads them to the frozen wastelands of Greenland and a stunning climax in the fabled lost city.

 

"A great adventure: mythological overtones, exotic locations, action, humor and romance.  it would make an exciting movie."
