Just days before an oil executive is scheduled to give a pseudo-scientific report to Congress, aiming to delay crucial action on climate change for decades, he and his wife are found shot to death in their Greenwich, Connecticut home. It's ruled a murder-suicide, but their son refuses to accept this conclusion and hires Geneva Chase, ex-journalist-turned-detective, to prove otherwise.

With the report still due to Congress, the lead scientist of the study gone missing, climate activists turning violent, and members of the executive's family seeking revenge, Geneva races to find answers, stay alive and stop the report from reaching Washington.
