Plot

[edit]

John McDonald, an American prefabricated housing entrepreneur, is working on a business deal in Saudi Arabia. The business deal goes awry and he's soon arrested by his business partner and made a virtual hostage within the Kingdom and does not receive any help from the U.S. Embassy as they have a noninterference policy with the Saudi government. Fearing for the worst, McDonald crafts a plot to smuggle himself out in a wooden cargo box.
