But the Merc is just the starting place of an adventure that leads David to private yachts in Monte Carlo, the gold-lined hotel palaces of Dubai, and dangerous deals in the back alleys of Beijing. This is the true story of one man's adventure to revolutionize the oil trading industry - and along with it, the world.
