In the blistering Mojave Desert, solar installer Jake Harlan’s quiet life unravels when old colleague Elena Vargas begs him to expose “The Solar Cartel”—a ruthless monopoly led by charismatic tycoon Victor Lang that’s eliminating small competitors through sabotage, bribes, and murder.
After Elena is found dead beneath a toppled panel, Jake uncovers damning evidence: rigged bids, defective equipment, and threats that soon target his teenage daughter. Dodging surveillance and assassins, he races to deliver proof to the FBI before the cartel silences him forever.
A gripping, humanized thriller blending dark humor, family stakes, and the fight for a truly free energy future.
