They are to be married in a double wedding ceremony on Saturday. Their fiancés, Sidney Fleming and Gina Rodriguez, are two very gorgeous, successful business ladies. The wedding is to be presided over by their friend, Reverend Jesse Jackson. Jesse and the boys get sidetracked and go to Indonesia for some business. After completing the business, they try to head home and get framed in a sting. Two Warner oil tankers off the coast of Yemen are destroyed, and six other tankers are hijacked. Their friends counter with a sting, which obtains their release. In another twist, they are kidnapped and placed in a position of compromise with Al Quada, where they meet Osama bin Ladin.

Secretly Inside
In the Dutch countryside the war seems far away. For most people, at least. But not for Ed, a Jew in Nazi-occupied Holland trying to find some safe sanctuary. Compelled to go into hiding in the rural province of Zeeland, he is taken in by a seemingly benevolent family of farmers. But, as Ed comes to realize, the Van 't Westeindes are not what they seem.

And Camiel's fiery, unstable sister Mariete begins to nurse a growing unrequited passion for their young guest, just as Ed realizes his own attraction to Camiel. As time goes by, Ed is drawn into the domestic intrigues around him, and the farmhouse that had begun as his refuge slowly becomes his prison.
