A bold money-making scheme spins wildly out of control in this
absorbing thriller
Five major blackouts have paralyzed the USA since the late 1950s. The
sixth will occur in a few months' time.
At the age of fifty-three, married Canadian engineer Carlton Smythe
meets a mysterious woman in a Buenos Aires bar - and falls head over
heels in love for the first time in his life. Desperate to find the
funds to escape his loveless marriage to Cynthia and embark on a new
life in Argentina with the beautiful Gina Ellanado, Smythe devises an
audacious money-making scheme, brilliant in its simplicity and boldness.
But to pull it off, he will need to do business with some wholly
undesirable criminal elements, including reputed local Mafia boss
Dominick Martone and some USA counterparts. And that's when things start
to spin wildly out of control.
