Ruth Epstein's prescient script, penned several years ago, imagines the United States at war in the Middle East, a conflict that has so sharply curtailed oil supply that gasoline goes for $6 a gallon. Soon Tom and Abby, an environmental activist despite her Harvard Business School graduate degree, find themselves attracted to each other even as conspiracies and another murder expose them to increasing danger. A fine supporting cast that includes John Heard, Angie Harmon and Colm Feore superbly capture the inner workings of big business and Wall Street deal-making.
