Summary: Career CIA operative Bob Barnes uncovers the disturbing truth about the work he has devoted his life to. On the heels of a family tragey, up-and-coming oil broker Bryan Woodman finds redemption in his partnership with idealistic Gulf Prince Nasir al-Subaai. Corporate lawyer Bennett Holiday faces a moral dilemma as he finesses the questionable merger of two powerful U.S. oil companies. Wasim Khan, a Pakistani teenager, falls prey to the recruiting efforts of a charismatic cleric. Each plays their small part in the vast and complex system that powers the industry, unaware of the explosive impact their lives will have upon the world.
