Bill Murphy is shocked to find that the public is indifferent about his fantastic creation - a perpetual motion wheel, while others are interested enough to kill for it. As he is about to obtain a patent, Murphy's confidence is clouded by self-doubt. Murphy wavers and does not act. Ten years later, appalled by the Exxon Valdez oil spill, he finally sets out to build a prototype from the plans that he has long since committed to memory. He takes the precaution of going into hiding until he is able to get a better feel for the public's reaction to his find. His fears are quickly legitimized by the actions of mob-connected individuals.
