Enter young Jeremy, a tall dishevelled computer genius with a scheme that had the potential to either make him the wealthiest, or poorest, man in the world. After the sales pitch he sits staring at the man, his nerves on fire and a vacuum in what had been his stomach moments earlier, not because he was considering taking on the challenge but because he had already decided to risk everything for, he admitted to himself, the challenge and excitement of taking on the project. In the end he will be risking far more than his wealth but the possible rewards can be equally greater than anything he could imagine. Had he known that the survival of the human race might hinge upon his choices, would his decision have been different? Would he be able to make that decision with the full knowledge of what is riding on his choice? Can he become the man he must be to rescue humanity from itself?
