Solomon Vandy is a loving husband father who lives a peaceful life on a farm in an out-of-the-way community in Sierra Leone. He sends his young son, Dia, to a school to learn English so the boy will grow up to have a better life. One day, terror comes to Solomon's village when the rebels arrive and kill or capture nearly everyone living there. Solomon's family is ripped from him and he is sent to work harvesting diamonds.
While sifting through sand from a shallow river bottom, he discovers a 100-karat pink diamond, which he initially hides then later buries. Shortly thereafter, he is captured during a government raid and sent to jail. While there, he encounters South African "soldier of fortune" Danny Archer, who makes a deal with Solomon: for the diamond, he will help the man find his wife and children.
To achieve this aim, Archer goes for help to American journalist Maddy Brown, whose price for aid is a tell-all expose from Archer about how "dirty" diamonds are laundered to appear clean to the world market, and how much culpability the London diamond merchants have.
Description of an character: Solomon Vandy
Solomon is one of the most wonderful human beings, the world have created until this date. He is friendly over for almost every single person he meets and most of all: he will do everything what it takes to save his family, and bring it back together, so they all can be happy together again, like in the old times. He had risked his own life, several times to get his son back from rebels, he have killed people to meet his wife, and he would with no doubt sacrifice his own life for them.
