In the modern world of ruthless oil companies, a failed assassination attempt has left the CEO of British Petroleum, Prospero, and his daughter, Miranda, marooned on a desolate island for 15 years. As fate would have it, a raging sea tempest shipwrecks Prospero’s treacherous brother and co-conspirator, the Chief of Exxon.
Once the castaways are flung about the island, the magical Tempest reveals layers of truths and trials concerning each of the characters. The wonders and mystical powers of the island, tamed by Prospero, serve to determine destiny’s path.
