When software engineer Austin Rouche dies in a suspicious car accident while carrying millions in diamonds, his wife Celeste must decide whether to accept his company’s eight-million-dollar hush money and flee the country or stay to investigate the truth. Was Austin a hitman or a whistle-blower?

Celeste and her new friends—a dweeby French physics professor and a former soldier turned diamond broker—travel the globe searching for answers. More questions arise when they discover the created diamonds that fall into their possession contain coded data, proof of what the powerful corporation, Epica, doesn’t want the world to know.

Using the skill of astral travel she didn’t know she possessed, Celeste moves through time and space to discover the truth about how Epica harms the world’s academics on Austin’s hit list.

Who knew that diamonds could burn? And why would anyone want to burn them?
