Upon receiving a frantic telephone call in the middle of the night from Chaim Potnik in Israel, Robert Durham, President of Citadel World Bank in Los Angeles, California, decided the time is ripe to call a meeting of the eight men from around the world to come to the bank. Not since the finding of the Dead Sea Scrolls has there been such a happening in Israel. It was time to take action. After a performance in Jerusalem, Joshua Ward decides to take a few days to explore the little country of Israel. Today, he is on his way to Masada, a mountaintop in Israel's history. His seatmate on the bus is an Israeli girl, Aviva Potnik. On reaching the very top of the mountain, the busload of tourists is held spellbound by a great shadow looming overhead. Instinctively, Joshua snaps three quick pictures of it, thus starting him on an adventure that could make him the 10th man needed to complete the Circle. With the help of a reformed terrorist, Joshua is able to save Avi and Dr. Katz from the hands of terrorists. With Joshua's return to the States, he decided to retire from the ballet and become part of the circle led by banker, Robert Durham. The object is to do what the circle can to thwart terrorists wherever they can be found. Achmed, the reformed terrorist becomes an important personage in Joshua's life as they work together to gather information for the Circle. Their first assignment is Morocco where the threat of a terrorist activity could cost many lives.
