Description: Off-shore oil platforms controlled by vulnerable software and sitting atop millions of gallons of pressurized fire and pollution have caught the eye of an immensely wealthy zealot determined to return the world to ninth century despotism. Three strangers, a haunted man seeking sanctuary from the past, a young woman trying to build her future and a driven capitalist risking everything on a billion dollar gamble become pawns in a scheme that will decide the fate of western civilization.
