At the Point of Death Can the flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil
end up as a tornado in Texas? Chaos theory says yes it can. It says
that dynamic systems are sensitive to their initial conditions and
the slightest differences can have huge and unpredictable outcomes.
So to guard against chaos we have laws and systems, procedures and
regulations. Except they don't always work. A microscopic fault in
a jet engine that brings down an airliner. A piece of foam that
destroys a space shuttle. A virus mutation that goes on to kill
millions. In the end, everything is subject to the laws of nature,
including the laws of human nature, and if chaos theory applies to
human nature, it might not take much to shift a person from law
abiding to law breaking. In 2020, a terrorist organisation sets out
to do just that. Create chaos. To bring society to that point where
law and order breaks down. Across the world, wave after wave of
atrocities begin to tip the balance. But what is the ultimate goal
of the terrorists? In a hectic and sometimes chaotic journey from
an idyllic Greek island to the International Space Station, it is
up to Jack and Helen Riley to find out and stop them.
