Produktbeschreibung
Jack Orren, Founder/CEO of a start-up airline, dies in what appears to be an accident. In a succession struggle to replace him at the airline, the COO, Roger Choate, prevails over the Founder's protege, Bart Eriksen. Eriksen learns that Choate had killed Orren but there is no actual evidence. Eriksen tries going to the police, but Choate denies he was responsible. Eriksen tries to convince others, including Katherine, Orren's widow. Over time she comes to believe Eriksen and is faced with what to do about it. Eriksen too is faced with deciding how to act -- does he take action himself to seek revenge/justice for Orren and how would he do it? He is also conflicted by knowing that in any action against Choate he may benefit in his fight to lead the airline -- he thus questions his motive for revenge. His decision making is complicated further by his relationship with two women who are very different, but almost equally attractive to him. He must decide between them and whatever he determines to do about Choate will affect whichever woman he chooses. Concurrently, a drug cartel has started smuggling drugs on the airline and is working with the airline's head of maintenance, Pete Hayes. Pete was coerced by the cartel because of his need to pay off gambling debts. He is looking for a way out but feels trapped. Eriksen has to figure out what to do about Orren's death and how to fight off the drug cartel. Decisions, decisions, decisions. What would you do?
