A spy steals a Russian chip capable of hacking any military hardware on the planet. To get it to his handler, he must pass it on to a mule who will carry it out of Europe. The spy searches for a mule and he may have found a candidate in Strasbourg, France at the Christmas market. The mule is an older woman, seventy perhaps, and she's looking at a Christmas thong. Jan holds up a thong with tiny Santa Clauses all around the edges. To get a better look, she sets her tablet down and holds the thong against her side. She looks at her friends for their support. Aaron, a stout forty-something, laughs, and Mary, a religious fanatic who thinks everyone is a sinner and has a collection of bibles that she carries with her, shakes her head and utters the word, "sin." Jan, defiantly, buys two thongs; one with dancing Santa's on it and another with a Rudolph's face over the crotch. She presses a tiny button and Rudolph's nose lights up.Just then, a hooded man runs up to her, grabs her tablet from atop the thongs and runs off! Jan's shocked and throws the Santa thong at him.Aaron runs after the crook and yells for him to stop. Olivia, Aaron's friend from a nearby village, calls the police from her phone and yells at Aaron to stop. She insists it's too dangerous for him to race after a thief. A few blocks away, Aaron corners the crook in an alley. The hooded man walks out from behind a dumpster with the tablet in hand and holds it up. Aaron knows that he was wrong to chase after the crook, but to go into a dark alley was far too dangerous, even with his skills. The man throws the tablet onto a pile of trash and then runs off. Aaron gets the tablet and returns it to Jan who is ecstatic to have it back, but the tablet case has been opened. Aaron snaps in back into place and they continue their European journey.The next day, the threesome find themselves neck deep in a case international espionage and are on the run from Russians, Americans, and other thugs who want Jan's tablet.The spy must do all he can to save Jan and her friends, get the chip to his people, and evade the killers looking for them.

World War One, Father Michael Leauvin must go to the front for a rotation in Verdun, France. His odd hobby of taking pictures takes a turn from photos of nature to photos of the wounded, the dying and the dead. During his time at the front, he does not question his faith; it's his love that he fights with, a love for Christ and a love for a woman.

The plane from Paris slammed into the Atlantic and broke apart. Bill and Martin joined Claire in the tail section where the last raft was anchored to the door with a tether. Claire lugged her Gucci bags into the raft and Martin had his rollaboard clutched tightly in his arms.Bill fought to get the tether untied from the door, but the base of the door was under water. He had to go into the dark depths while thunder and lightning roared overhead. He pulled at the tether and got it untied. The raft shot up and slammed Bill's head into the metal frame of the door; he felt the gash and shook his head.Adrift, Bill and Claire fought over why Martin was no longer with them. Bill told Claire that it was just the two of them now. Claire asked if that was a threat and Bill happily replied, yes. They found an island and ditched the raft on the beachhead. Claire's mind was on one thing, rescue and to do anything to get away from Bill. Bill's head injury set his mind adrift in a sea of mystery about pirates and treasure. He looked at Claire and felt anger surge up his throat like lava rising to the top of a volcano where it would spew destruction. Bill and Claire had two different goals; one of them will get their way at the expense of the other.
