Biologists, Scott Simmons and Linda Stevens, who share a bungalow in the Florida Keys, discover toxins in the Gulf Stream. Determined to find the source, they enlist the help of a retired professor, Dr. Charles Alexander, who suspects he knows not only where the source is, but also who is responsible. Deception, contrived arrests, expulsion, and murder intertwine before natural forces trigger an environmental disaster with far-reaching consequences that could impact the marine ecosystem for decades to come. Will the truth ever come out? Will justice prevail? There are many twists, turns and surprising developments as the story unfolds before these questions are answered. Could such an environmental disaster actually happen? Perhaps it already has.
