With a clear endorsement of Presidential support behind it, the newly organized Internet Fairness Service (IFS) is supposed to provide technological governance for the good of all Internet users. But from the shadows, a devious mastermind known only as Mr. S is using IFS to pull strings and manipulate the most ambitious insider trading scheme the world has ever known. When an IFS employee ends up dead after secretly tipping off Henry Vanzant, the struggling journalist reluctantly finds himself drawn into a dangerous high-tech underworld.

There are only two people Henry can trust to help him: edgy, Russian-born cyber security expert Alex, who might just turn out to be more than Henry can handle, and Karyn, the beautiful and brilliant former college bandmate he always secretly loved.

Framed for the whistleblower's murder, Henry must evade the FBI long enough to uncover the truth. With the security of the world's financial markets in jeopardy and a target on his back, can Henry overcome his own demons and expose the real criminals in time?
