“Albatross Two is an offshore oil well.  From the moment the giant rig arrives off the little fishing village of Ripple Bay and begins drilling, it dominates the lives of everyone in the community.
To Mr Huxtable, Hank the tool-pusher, The Sausage, and Niko the Barrel it is a beautiful machine “erected to the god, Oil, and his half-brother, Mammon.” To Mario Bukovitch, Mostyn Mankovitz, Dave Banks, and the other cray-fishermen it is a technological juggernaut that befouls their fishing grounds and destroys their livelihood. To Link, Tina, Craypot, Hookie, and the other teenagers of the village it is a source of wonder and endless discussion.”
