The Power of Water is set in Australia, Laos and Thailand and looks at the many ways in which our lives are affected by water, from the devastation of floods and tsunamis to the excitement of surfing, and the sensual effect of a hot steamy shower.
The story follows the intertwining lives of Paul Johnson a 33 year old Australian Civil Engineer, and Abdul, a young Malaysian orphan. Through their experiences we follow Paul’s career and relationships, and Abdul’s journey as he explores his faith and seeks out his life’s direction.
Paul runs a grouting company and is working on the construction of a new dam at Kangaroo Creek in Northern NSW. But the main contractor who is trying to cheat him and all this culminates in a confrontation in court.
In parallel Abdul gets involved in a terrorist group who explores Australia’s total dependency on water and how this can be used as a weapon of terrorism.
