A career CIA operative begins to uncover the disturbing truth about the work he has devoted his life to; an oil broker faces tragedy and finds redemption through an idealistic Gulf prince; a corporate lawyer faces a moral dilemma as he finesses the merger of two powerful US oil companies; while across the globe, a disenfranchised Pakistani teenager falls prey to the recruiting efforts of a charismatic cleric. Each character provides one of the many layers to this intelligent and thought provoking political thriller set against the backdrop of an all consuming global oil industry.
