A priest is found hanging in a hotel room on the shore of the Dead Sea. Did he hang himself or was he murdered? His female assistant is also missing. All that is known is that they were on a special mission sanctioned by the Vatican. Meanwhile, after a disastrous mission in Borneo, Alex Kazinsky visits his ex-partner in Mexico, which turns out to be yet another disaster. Kazinsky is convinced that he is cursed. That is, until he uncovers the real truth behind his run of ill-fate. The Job Agency, taking its name from the biblical character that faced trial after trial by God to test his faith, is an organisation bent on causing unimaginable suffering upon its victims. They need a guinea pig to test their wicked methods, and that person is Kazinsky!
