Backlash

(Adapted from the Novel)

Logline: When a young woman and her company, Axiom Oil, takes on environmental radicals, the media and all of Washington DC, the drama is bound to be explosive.

Synopsis: Axiom Oil, Inc. is the nation’s largest oil company.
Jacqueline (Jackie) James, VP of Operations, is the daughter of CEO Donald “Junior,” James, but everything changes when he dies suddenly. She becomes CEO of the nation’s largest gasoline retailer over the objections of the old-boy network on the Board of Directors.

Jackie, 38, is more like her scrappy grandfather, a 1920s wildcatter,
than her MBA father.

She’s earned everything she’s ever gotten, including the respect of
stockholders and employees.

The day after she becomes CEO, an Axiom offshore drilling rig is attacked by a radical environmental terror cell and one of the workers dies, which the news media portrays as negligence on the part of the oil company, creating a public relations nightmare.  When a Senator uses the “accident” to push through an additional major gas tax, Axiom’s finance people tell Jackie that the new tax wipes out their profit on motor fuel for the fourth quarter.  Jackie knows that drastic action is necessary.  “Operation Backlash” sets in motion a chain of events that few could have predicted, including putting Jackie herself in danger.
