Jens Lienhart is an ambitious business student at St.Gallen university, researching his thesis at Refine Trading, an international oil trading company. Then Beatrice, a Greenpax environmental activist confronts Jens with information that his research only confirms: Refine Trading charters cheap oil transport tankers only fit for the scrap heap which repeatedly have oil spill accidents. Will Jens submit to Greenpax’ pressure to go public? However, there is a problem: Jens’ father is not only on the company board, but about to be elected for parliament.
