A high tech company is in need of minority skilled personnel in order to obtain a large government contract. The Stillwell Company, located in Santa Monica successfully hires five recent grads from Cal Tech, four of whom are men and women of color. The white woman and Indian male are shot and the man dies. Joe Zuma is led on a search for those within the company that might be jealous or frustrated and those outside the company who are angry with minorities getting jobs. The theft of the work done by the new group of hires a well as other Stillwell inventions provides another challenge to Zuma and his sidekick Pat Vasquez. This is further complicated when Zumas' son is hired by the Stillwell corporation. The pursuit of the shootings of the Stillwell hires and the murdering of other minorities leads Zuma to focus on a hate group, which he is able to infiltrate through a brilliant ruse that doesn't work out to his benefit. In a desire to improve the company image and relations within Stillwell Zuma and Vasquez are hired to do diversity education. In a surprising twist the secrets stolen from the Stillwell corporation turn up without any indication of how or who stole them.
