520    A baby is born with a coin in her hand. An orphan crafts a
       mysterious wooden object. The CEO of a large corporation 
       finds himself under extraordinary pressure at work and at 
       home. And on a remote hilltop on a Caribbean island, a 
       medicine man seems to understand the meaning of all these 
       events and to hold the key to the future. Montaro Caine, 
       CEO of the Fitzer Corporation, is losing control of the 
       company he built just as his teenage daughter is 
       experiencing her own difficulties. At this moment of 
       crisis, a man and woman appear at his office with a coin 
       of unknown provenance, composed of a metal unknown on 
       Earth. Montaro immediately recognizes it as the companion 
       of a coin he analyzed as a graduate student working in a 
       lab at MIT, which was later returned to its unidentified 
       owner. The coin's appearance draws the attention of 
       scientists, collectors, financiers, and thieves, all of 
       whom vie to get their hands on it, and Montaro himself 
       hopes that the discovery of the coin will save his 
       company. But the value of the coin lies not in its 
       monetary worth but in its hold on the people who come into
       contact with it. These include the young woman who is not 
       aware of the object that was found in her hand at birth; 
       an old man who, as a boy, crafted a wooden compact as a 
       gift for a young Montaro Caine; and the elusive healer 
       Matthew Perch, who, from his hut on a small Caribbean 
       island, knows precisely why these people have been brought
       together and what wisdom the coin imparts.
