When greed is your mistress and power her aphrodisiac, people become expendable.Self-made millionaire Richard Gillespie senses his firm is crumbling. He develops a complex plan to save his legacy. Gillespie uses Dr. Brigette Lonerghan, a university executive, to access a valuable portfolio of inventions. The inventor, Dr. Joseph Ralinski, pocketing millions from side deals over the years, has driven high-ranking university officials to set sights on toppling his financial fortress.Lonerghan becomes a pawn in a game of ego and greed between Gillespie and his nemesis, Louis Jacobsen - head of the university's office that handles inventions. Jacobsen, Lonerghan's illicit lover, discovers his unfaithful wife is drugging him into spousal submission and plots revenge.Three people, three angles: Jacobsen - greed and selfishness; the Provost - self-righteousness coupled with mistrust; and finally Ralinski - self-important and arrogant. The common denominator is "self". FBI involvement escalates the tension and the body count rises.
