Integrity’s Plight revolves around a collision between two oil tankers, resulting in a massive oil slick that inundates the San Francisco Bay. David Morris, the story’s protagonist, leads his company’s public relations efforts in an attempt to calm public furor over the accident. Unbeknownst to Morris, his efforts are undermined by his own corporation’s executives, who have a financial interest in placing blame on the other company. A series of unethical events undertaken by those same executives leads Morris to try uncovering the truth. He suffers greatly for his efforts, and as he gets closer to the truth the more his life, and the lives of his loved ones, are placed in danger. When Morris realizes that he has discovered illegal stock activity in the midst of a multi-billion dollar hostile takeover, he tries to retreat; only to find that others involved believe he knows too much and feel he has passed the point of withdrawal. Morris must now fashion a solution to a problem that could cost him everything, while staying one step ahead of the forces trying to silence him. That is his Integrity’s Plight .
