Wildfire, one of a dwindling number of independent oil drilling companies, is close to financial collapse and run by a stubborn veteran of the industry who feels that they are close to hitting metaphorical gold. Meanwhile a corporation, recognising the potential in Wildfire, is trying to buy out the small company before they actually do find oil in their current land-based spot, while the price can be kept low, but one of its employees is prepared to go to any lengths to sabotage Wildfire's chances of success. At the same time David is generally getting in the way as a new operative at Wildfire, whilst forging a relationship with the owner's daughter.
Note that there is a spoiler in the following text. Saved from being filed under M for Mundane by a dramatic final third when the oil rig blows up, leaving a fire to rage almost out of control. Hulk's first appearance, after David is trapped in an oil drum by the no-good employee of the opposition, is quite witty in that Hulk's attention on the bad guy is irretreivably diverted to the truck's radio, leaving the guy to scarper. This child-like, animalistic nature is illogically subverted during the final act when Hulk shows a little too much intelligence when he rescues the owner from the burning rig before capping the escaping oil.

David once more manages to develop a relationship with a female during this story, before having to move on again (although this time with a major boost in finances provided by some fruitful shares in Wildfire, which could arouse some cynicism regarding his motives for sticking around in the first place).
