Thriller
A beautiful young girl is taken to an unconventional medical
facility. Weak and disoriented, she is subjected to a
radical, untested stem cell procedure. Months later, in a
hot air balloon speeding across New Zealand's Central
Canterbury Plains, the results of that test give birth to an
international conspiracy. When a giant tuna cannery makes early tax payments to the
American Samoan treasury, a high-ranking but corrupt
government official will divert millions to New Zealand's
Health-Cell Corporation. The medical research firm is
desperate for cash while its stem cell breakthrough
undergoes a required three-year test protocol. In return,
Health-Cell will supply the official and his co-conspirators
with stem cell cure kits to sell on the black market,
yielding huge profits. The only way the early tax payments
will not be made, scuttling the conspiracy, is if a Special
Industry Committee raises Samoa's minimum wage by more than
two percent. Enter Michael Bloom, a government economist charged with the
responsibility to administer public hearings that lead to
deliberations of the Committee. He has risked his marriage
to get Samoa's impoverished workers the significant wage
increases long denied them. Unknowingly, his efforts to win
large wage gains for Samoa's workforce threaten to derail
the conspiracy. The story accelerates to breakneck speed as Bloom encounters
the beautiful director of Samoa's Visitor Information
Bureau. He is framed with a dastardly crime, flees the
police, and returns to the South Pacific to unravel the
conspiracy and get revenge.
