the die is cast

A Celtic senaechie (soothsayer) foretells Robert Drood's destiny at his birth. After a childhood of poverty and sexual abuse in Ireland, he grows up in America. Because of his brilliance and ruthlessness, he becomes the CEO of a Fortune 500 corporation while in his thirties. To pay for his hedonistic lifestyle and rampant womanizing, he devises Byzantine schemes to plunder his company treasury while he wallows in the lavish perqusites of his high position. He does not count on a straight arrow subordinate's efforts to clear his name of a false accusation. A brilliant Irish Benedictine scholar leads Drood to an epiphany in his life and the final step of his destiny foretold at his birth.
