Plant Life

By Michael Klauke

At API, a struggling ethanol plant in Midwest Ohio, danger lurks beneath the clang of machinery and the stench of chemicals. When veteran supervisor Peter McManus dies in a prank gone horribly wrong, the fallout sets off a chain reaction of deception, greed, and murder.

Joe Russo, a ruthless operator, seizes an opportunity to control young engineer Nick Dutton, while Misty Johnston, desperate to save her family farm, partners with a corrupt coworker in a high-stakes fraud scheme. But when greed turns deadly, alliances shift, and secrets become weapons.

As the plant teeters on the edge of collapse, Nora Peterson, a sharp-minded engineer, begins uncovering the corruption bleeding API dry. But some truths are worth killing for-and as tensions ignite, survival will come at a steep price.

A dark, psychological thriller, Plant Life is a story of ambition, betrayal, and the deadly consequences of greed.
