520    Somewhere in South America, at the home of the country's 
       vice president, a lavish birthday party is being held in 
       honor of Mr. Hosokawa, a powerful Japanese businessman. 
       Roxanne Coss, opera's most revered soprano, has mesmerized
       the international guests with her singing. It is a perfect
       evening -- until a band of gun-wielding terrorists breaks 
       in through the air-conditioning vents and takes the entire
       party hostage. But what begins as a panicked, life-
       threatening scenario slowly evolves into something quite 
       different, as terrorists and hostages forge unexpected 
       bonds and people from different countries and continents 
       become compatriots.Friendship, compassion, and the chance 
       for great love lead the characters to forget the real 
       danger that has been set in motion and cannot be stopped.-
