In the fictional republic of Costaguana instability and revolution are the norm. When Charles Gould’s silver mine becomes a catalyst for violence, he fears his wealth will be taken by his enemies. Charging Nostromo—said to be incorruptible—with the task of selling the silver offshore, Gould no longer fears for the fate of his wealth; however, as Nostromo’s own desire for power and fame strengthens, corruption seems the inevitable end.
Through a series of flashbacks and flashforwards, Nostromo explores capitalism, rebellion, and the power of wealth in swaying the actions of men.
