Overview
Corpocracy is running rampant, the potentate is out of control, spurring a new wave of superheroes. They don't have capes but they have an unyielding hope the world can be better. If Stephanie Beroe was a super hero, her name would be Green Queen. She knows cannabis.
Pursued by several fortune 500 companies, Stephanie Beroe and her husband Remy, founders of a Cannabis infusion company, fall victim to sabotage.
While deep in the belly of America's wealthiest social clubs, several billionaire members inspired by a false King, devise their own reality, where they are the gods of men. Bored with infinite resources and limitless power, they acquire an unquenchable thirst for blood and global dominance. Employing their own military weapons contract companies to build a park on a remote island, the latest weaponry technology is used for their purpose of exotic game hunting. Their club has three rules, the most important -absolute silence by member pledge of death. In an attempt to solidify a global legacy, several CEO's attempt to woo the Beroes', as their cannabis company has become one of the first national brands and is both envied and coveted by large corporations vying to monopolize a nascent industry. A clash of cultures ensues.
When the fifth bank closes the Beroes' bank accounts without any disclosure, Stephanie walks a cool two hundred G's home and hides it in the bottom of the laundry bin, isn't that what everyone thinks anyway? Then on the verge of success everything begins to fall apart; Led to believe a barrage of bad press and product recalls are the cause behind the no show for a promising partnering meeting with a seemingly ideal company, Stephanie receives a call that her husband Remy is missing.
Coming to terms with the fact that a painful secret she has kept, may be a reason he has left, she enlists a Private I and her best friend to expose the plot behind Remy's disappearance. Caught between this terrible secret and corporate malfeasance, she must decide who to trust and what to risk, throwing herself into the arms of billionaires. Clues are vague and with- held, but the hope of finding Remy, instigates a rendezvous with several business associates. On instinct she throws herself into the fire. Deceived by people closest to her and pushed beyond the limits of subjugation, Stephanie ignites a flame between herself and an associate of the past. Taken and alone, she wakes up in the arms of a delusional captor. Pushing the limits of her comfort zone, she must rise to the contest of sexism, abuse and revenge.
With Zen like calm, Remy finds himself drugged and disoriented facing a militia of women wearing torn and ragged office clothes. The leader Delta, becomes his ally, driven to defend the women in her family. The head of Delta's family a brutal male, takes pleasure in dominating them as victim becomes the oppressor, life is an agonizing cycle of pain and torture. Remy must organize this fractioned group without tipping the inherent power struggle within, if there is any chance of survival or seeing Stephanie again. His primal instincts challenge his rationale as he both loses and discovers the fabric of his morality.
Motivated by a fierce bond of love the Beroes' must inspire a dysfunctional group of jungle/punk abductees, a wayward private eye, a monolithic media mogul, a rejected privileged son and an awakened third- generation scion as they deploy out of the box skills to combat the dark side of the one percent.
