Dirty Details Done Dirt Cheap:
Dr. Grace Augustine is the compassionate but no-nonsense head of the Avatar Program, which allows humans to transfer their consciousness to a "bio-suit" of the Na'vi, which allows them to interact with the moon Pandora's species, traverse its rugged terrain and breathe in its otherwise toxic atmosphere. She is constantly at odds with the corporate administrator for the RDA mining operation, Parker Selfridge, and the head of the operation's private military regime, Colonel Miles Quaritch - two men who care only for the extraction of a valuable mineral called unobtanium and little for the moon's inhabitants and environment. Grace has gained the trust of the Na'vi but is constantly engaged in a tightrope act as she struggles to do her work in a hostile environment.
