A junior consulting engineer is forced by his client (the M.O.D.) to reduce the estimated costs of his design. He is up against time constraints and is bullied by his superiors. Under intense pressure, he makes an error that is not noticed until the project is already started on site. When the installation contractor finds and reports the technical fault, those above him, in positions of power, refuse to accept the evidence and use their authority to protect their reputations. If the fault is not addressed, a major environmental disaster will occur. The strength and resources of Messrs Franz Liseur, an international mechanical services contractor, are brought to bear in the attempt to convince the four antagonists, the Ministry of Defence, the Consulting Engineers, the Supervising Officer and the Main Building Contractor, to relent and alter the design before it's too late.
