Five years after the end of the Ethnic Wars, in 2033 AD, Audrey Hartwright visits the site of the Battle of Malvern, where her husband died. There she finds a multi-national corporation hard at work on a secret project that turns out to be deadly for those involved. She joins a radical environmental group to fight the corporation, and with her colleagues Laughing Elk, an electronics expert, Chloe, a biological scientist and Penny Lagersmith, an Indiana Supreme Court Justice, pursues the corporation to Nevada in an attempt to block their plans. The final showdown is in the remote desert and results in the destruction of the World Cultural Center in Las Vegas.
