James Jameson is a junior investment banker at the Heritage Pacific Bank; an investment house with a very broad portfolio of investments and a reputation for backing high risk opportunities.
When a start-up company calling itself Oceanic approaches Heritage with a business model based on genetically modified fish and a new strain of seaweed its inventors claim will end world hunger and reverse climate change, Jameson is not convinced. But in charge of a team conducting investigations into the potential of Oceanic, Jameson is sent to the sleepy town of Collins Cove to review the business, and discovers that life away from the city is not all bad. However, as the details of Oceanic's technology both amaze and disturb Jameson, his investigations lead him from biotech into the murky world of financial crime, and a discovery which could be a chance for humanity to help itself and the planet.
