Architect Pierre Strasse has brought his career to the stage that provides wiggle room to encourage thoughts of expansion into the big time. Vince, Pierre's talented partner, fills in the gaps of necessary expertise. The pair attract colorful and talented employees and soon the team is a firm capable of producing results that draw public attention. All is in place for success. Despite a well-established business plan, making 'real' money for the partners is elusive. The large-scale real estate developers and the major players of the construction industry that serves his city display a level of corruption that is overwhelming to Strasse. At the same time, Pierre's personal life is under attack; a pending divorce has set him adrift, his single status brings opportunities to explore in an unburdened manner. The mysterious murder of one of the real estate industry players, a former employee of Pierre's, puts Architect Strasse in touch with the police who seek building technology expertise. When Pierre's reputation is made known to the higher levels of Law Enforcement, he is enlisted to assist in entrapping political figures who surreptitiously enable corruption in the field of land development. Culprits are discovered but not exposed or disgraced. Justice is not done.
