Equilibrium

📖 The Scoop

At the end of another work week, people from all walks of life gather at the luxurious Grand Plaza Hotel in downtown Cincinnati for a Friday night of music, dancing, and drinking. The loss of equilibrium is the last thing they expect tonight. Nick Kremer seems to have it all. Recently named a partner in his structural engineering firm, Nick is eyeing a golden future until a project he has designed fails, with catastrophic results. Government bureaucrats make Nick a scapegoat, leading to the disintegration of Nick's firm, career, and more. With his entire life unraveling, Nick finds that bad choices lead to even darker consequences. Eventually, Nick opens up to an old friend and agrees to try a new career. As he settles into his new lifestyle, his world is rocked again when another engineering failure claims the life of that friend. Knowing from experience that government reports can be less than accurate, Nick feels obligated to find the real reasons for that failure. Launching his own investigation, Nick uncovers mysterious evidence and unwittingly involves a young professor in his search for the truth. Little does he know that his investigation will cause him to cross paths with those from his past and embroil him in a race against time to stop a crippling terror attack.
