Life by Death By: BARD Ryan Butler is a young man in his mid-thirties progressing through a developing career working for an American Steel Corporation. He and several other managers are assigned to work on a due diligence project to determine if the corporation should take an interest in participating in the privatization of the Serbian Steel Industry. Unfortunately, their assignment begins in the late 1990 and the tensions in Yugoslavia are rising, eventually leading to civil wars following the declared independence of Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia from Yugoslavia. As their assignment progresses through the second quarter of 1991 they hear more frequently of the upcoming risk and are convinced the corporation will be extracting them from the Serbian assignment. Ryan was the one American who took a sincere interest in the Serbian people, culture, and religion.

While on this trip, he and two of his friends witness something they were not supposed to see. This accident puts their lives in grave danger. Ryan's friends eventually figure out a way to get him back safely to the United States.
