A young scientist, Cameron, has an idea which could revolutionise medicine. She believes that, once published, her findings will change the world.
A maverick financier, Bryn, sees the potential, but convinces her that truth alone is never what secures change: its money, nous and competitive savvy.
He persuades her to go into business with him. Their aim: to build a stockmarket company worth a hundred million pounds big enough to survive assault; strong enough to market Camerons technology to the entire world.
Corinth, a corporation worth a hundred billion dollars, sees Camerons technology as a threat and aims to wipe out the fledgling enterprise.
