He is carrying the full weight of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy on his shoulders with jobs and investments of others at risk. Additionally, Waters, who is a Marine vet, is drawn into an international narcotics investigation and reluctantly agrees to go undercover for the Feds in a "tit for tat" effort to save his company.  Portions of the novel take place in several Western Hemisphere countries.  The Marine vet and CEO entrpreneur confronts both his own life's choices and those of his business partner and longtime friend who is a possible target of the narcotics investigation, which reaches all the way to the White House with national security implications.  A U.S. attorney has her political ambitions outed.  The story illustrates how character and tenacity are important in business, particularly for entrepreneurs.  The narrative contrasts the different life styles of the two entrepreneur partners with moral and marital infidelity undercurrents.
