Official synopsis
Ao investigar a morte de um amigo e colega policial, o policial de Los Angeles Barney Caine se depara com evidências de que os nazistas criaram uma alternativa sintética à gasolina durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Esta revelação tem o potencial de acabar com a indústria petrolífera global estabelecida, tornando a fórmula uma informação muito valiosa e perigosa. Eventualmente, Caine deve enfrentar o magnata do petróleo Adam Steiffel, que claramente tem sua própria agenda em relação à fórmula.
