When Ellie meets Chloe it leads to a shocking revelation, and the race is on as Ellie and Carter race to prevent an impending gas disaster and stop the "Fixers".
Ellie and Carter, who is badly wounded, escape to safety after making their way through a forest inferno. They hide out in a motel and Ellie learns she cannot trust anyone.
NTSB investigator Ellie Molaro, suspicious of the "official answers” to an oil rig disaster, spearheads a private investigation with a secret tipster named Carter who claims that a conspiracy of “Fixers” are behind the worst disasters in the country, all rigged to manipulate the stock market, and reap billions for a select few.
