Using remote-controlled, spider-shaped drones, he monitors an oil pipeline on another continent. It's there that young Ayusha is to be married to an older man. Initially by chance, then more and more often, Gordon observes the young woman on his monitor. He makes contact with her. But Ayusha has a secret. Gordon must use all the means offered by modern technology to rescue her on the other side of the world.
