Nikola Tesla has at least 278 patents in 26 countries and is generally acknowledged as the world's greatest inventor.

Max Berglin, former Lockheed scientist, finds the long lost personal notebook of the genius inventor. During the latter part of his life Tesla perfected devices for the wireless transmission of power, beam weaponry, and the harnessing of cosmic energy from the quantum vacuum. These technologies have been suppressed because of their frightening power and the potential for their misuse by terrorists and opportunists.

But when Max develops a device based on Tesla's work that can take energy directly from the zero-point energy field, the backlash begins a conflict that changes the world.
