"My name is Ekaterina. I am eleven years old. I am dead." is the mysterious message that continuously appears on the website of the mining company Seven Continents. Macey Church and Kiril Solokov from Capstan Consultants are called in to investigate what they assume is the work of a hacker, but uncover a trail of corporate and political corruption, greed and destruction that leads to a small mine in Kazbakistan. To uncover what is happening they must risk their reputations, jobs and lives, even though they fear that they are already too late.
