Set in free-wheeling and semi-lawless Kiev in mid-1990's, The Steel Barons is the story of thirty-year-old American lawyer Jack Parker, who gets stranded in Ukraine, where he is befriended by Sergei, a black marketeer. With a loan from Sergei, Jack opens a law office and transforms himself from a naive American to a steel baron, with a personal army of ex-KGB mercenaries. Even Lena, Jack's new girlfriend, worries about his growing involvement in the criminal world. When his partner is murdered, Jack is given a choice: sell his interests to a competing steel company or die.
