他早已習慣用責任當藉口，以義務作靠山，然而面對第二人生的「最後一役」，這是第一次，他終於明白，必須誠實面對自己……
若說在近畿商事內，壹岐正如今是繼大門董事長、里井副董事長之後的「第三把交椅」，一點都不為過。
三年前，由於妻子不幸車禍過世，壹岐悲痛欲絕，不久後，他被大門派往紐約擔任美國近畿商事董事長。正當大家以為他就此被擠出了權力中樞時，被視為大門接班人選的里井卻突然心臟病發！這對於時時刻刻都處於巨大壓力下的生意人來說，是最大的致命傷！也因此，大門不顧里井的反對，決定把壹岐召回日本總公司。
里井為了保住大位，堅持帶病上陣，一手主導美國福克汽車與日本千代田汽車的合資案，完全不讓壹岐插手。然而，正當交涉進入最後階段之際，福克汽車的態度卻起了微妙的變化。隱約之中，似乎又出現了東京商事鮫島的身影……
事實上，除了汽車合資案，眼前壹岐有另一件更重要的工作──在中東的荒蕪沙漠中，開發出油田的沃土！只不過壹岐並不知道，在「油田」這塊大餅真正入口之前，他得先克服多少難關、做出多少犧牲……

「這一次是我帶著信念想要完成的工作，無論別人罵我是賣國賊或其他什麼難聽的話，我都會堅持到底。（頁296）」
壹岐的使命感極度強烈，也許跟他自責出謀劃策導致日本戰敗有關，主導伊朗石油競標案卻遭到政治排擠後，選擇一意孤行跳出來獨幹，一方面搬出民族大義，自圓其說是萬一日本競標團失手時「安全閥」，實則只是「這世界沒有我不行」的自我感覺良好在作祟吧。該說壹歧不當政治人物太可惜嗎？
