"A lake evaporates overnight in Australia, the permafrost melt within hours in Russia and in Germany, there is a storm with tornadoes and softball-sized hail. Meanwhile, Laura Wagner finds her boss dead. He left her with instructions to destroy a piece of software he had sold to the Chinese. At the same time, Daniel, a popular meteorologist, convinces her that human technology is behind the bizarre extreme weather patterns the world is experiencing. The United States government would like a word with them. The number of people they can trust seems to get smaller all the time, until Laura is put in a position to choose between saving her son or saving all of Europe from the coming storm. Can they all work together to prevent further environmental destruction before an assassin catches up to them?"--
