During a three-week period, an unknown computer hacker robs, ruins or shuts down various computer systems, starting with one in a small bank in New Mexico. The mysterious whiz even gets into the system of the National Security Agency, and at one point has governments frantically disconnecting their nuclear weapons from their computers. Pitted against him are, primarily, Luanne Russell, Special Agent in the FBI's Computer Crimes Squad, and genius hacker K.C. Conrad, a convicted felon on the lam whom Luanne impresses into service.
