The Oil Price.

Saving the planet is a deadly business, and with oil at over $75 a barrel, there's plenty of cash to pay the killers.

'Lala' is a Fiji island that is home to endangered sea birds, marine turtles and coconut crabs.

Pity poor Lala Island, it is located over an unexploited oil field.

And where there is oil there is blood, the real oil price.

Brad Moore, Dubai-based Chief Executive of Peking Petroleum wants to turn Lala into an oil production facility and bury the turtle nests under concrete.

He has $500 million in his company account to pay for it.

But there is another plan for Lala, this one developed by a 'green-businessman' who wants to show the world what a sustainable development project looks like.

Brad Moore is a man who knows that to make a brain omlette you have to crack a few skulls.

So he brings to Dubai two hard-hitters from Storm Front, an Iraq Security Contracting firm.

He brings Teck, the emotionally challenged body-guard, to kill the man who is competing for Lala.

Brad Moore also hires Madeline Obst, corporate spin-doctor, the Liar for Hire, to make sure the truth is completely misrepresented and very well communicated.

But Brad Moore doesn't know that in between the car bombs and death squads of Iraq, Teck and Madeline have developed some history together.

Neither does he know that Bren Hannan, neice of the green business man, is heir-apparent to the sustainable Lala project and has just met Danny Lexion, a man who cares about  nothing more than doing okay and looking good.

- Will Brad Moore turn the turtle nests of Lala into a concrete parking lot for oil trucks?

- Or will the Bren Hannan the Climate Cop, and her army of new recruits stop him?

- And why did Bren chew off a man's ear for leaving on a bathroom light?
