Chao exudes a mystery and strength radiating a silent power that is strange and beguiling. He is one of the richest men in the world.

He discovers he has one year to live, he plans to liquidate his fortune and produces a series of global action that he hopes will create a change. A sophisticated tune about changing the world.

In his pursuits of peace and truth, Chao addresses such issues as human trafficking, nuclear war, and the poverty that imperils the developing countries. When Chao's actions begin to rattle global power structures, he becomes the focus of Deep 6, an underworld intelligence agency working for the Shadow State, a Cabral of the wealthy and powerful, whose members make the big decision on the planet.

When Chao actions show up the radar, and then expand like a meteor shower. Deep 6 sets out to destroy him.

In the throes of all this, Chao contends with his impending death and his mysterious relationship with Diana, a Native American Indian, whom he finally marries in Prague, after thirty years of pursuit, only to discover that they were better off loving each, apart. They are like oceans that cannot merge.

Once uncovered, Chao goes into hiding as homeless man and embraces humanity at its most humble levels until he realizes his time has come. On an anonymous park bench, dressed in tattered clothes, a bullet fired from a rooftop ends his life at the same moment the aneurism burst his brain.
