The development of the next generation of Windows-based software is badly behind schedule, and the companys competitive position is in jeopardy. The companys owner, suspecting that the delays are deliberate, bugs the office of the Chief Executive Officer. A boardroom rift follows and a deadly, high-stakes international struggle ensues for mastery of the software business.

He tries to stabilize the situation, but things continue to deteriorate rapidly. Soon Jim is battling to save the business and protect his own job and those of his colleagues and perhaps also his life.
