As if only to twine the twist, dies a suspicious way the legendary Director of US Geological Survey shortly after delivering a controversial speech about diffusing earthquakes. But then, can earthquakes really be diffused or even predicted?

When the signals of an unprecedented earthquake are flaring in the horizons, an aggrieved USGS geologist follows a deadly trail of complicity stretching from the Manhattan’s corporate office to the far east India in the pursuit of an explanation. When the President of the United States is about to take a difficult decision that just might jeopardize his political career, the geologist struggles against all odds to unearth what unbelievably turns out to be a diabolical corporate fraud and the mind-blowing technology manipulation of the century.
