"A trip to an island off the New England coast-- and away from the demands of police work-- might be just what is needed to jump-start Detective Doyle Carrick and Nola Watkins' stalled relationship. But a mysterious plague is killing the island's bees. Nola takes a job at an organic farm hit hard by the disease, working for the rich, handsome, and annoying Teddy, with whom she quickly becomes a little too friendly for Doyle's liking. When Teddy's estranged father offers Doyle a big payday to keep his son out of trouble until he can close a big government contract-- and when Doyle meets Annalisa, a beautiful researcher studying the bees-- Doyle decides to stick around. Stoma Corporation, a giant biotech company, moves in with genetically modified super bees that supposedly are the answer to the world's bee crisis. As tension grows between protesters and a private army of thugs, Doyle realizes that bees aren't the only thing being modified." --
