She is cautious of a relationship with Omar, but there is a mystical force that binds them together from the start. Omar is swept into a romance with Dawn. But once he sees The Devil's Stone, he realizes the power he'd have if he owned it: He'd be the wealthiest, most powerful man in the region. He promises to protect Dawn from the dangers of the country. They head to a remote mining town where six-year-old Bingo lives. A homeless orphan, Bingo owns The Devil's Stone. Left to him by his late mother, the stone is stolen from him first by the Chief of the village of Kono, and then by the rebel leader Cobra. Bingo is devastated and vows to get it back. In a land of voodoo, devils and secret societies, Omar sets out to hunt down the priceless diamond. Together, Dawn, Omar and Bingo must play their part in finding the "DEVIL'S STONE."
