Sixteen year old Noa wakes up in a warehouse with a healing incision on her chest and no idea how she got there. In fact, she is missing over three weeks of her life. After her parents died when she was little, she was put into the foster care system. But after many homes, and a pervert, she decided she would be better off on her own. So she puts her hacker talents to work for her and creates a new persona (her make believe guardian) and gets her own apartment and bank account. She makes her money by doing computer jobs online for companies.

Noa is on the run and she doesn't know who or why. When Peter Gregory asks for her help, she accepts because she needs the cash until she can get a new bank account card. She can't go back to her apartment since she escaped the warehouse. Peter runs an online network of hackers and since he was looking through his fathers papers and investigating what AMRF is, someone's been trying to keep him from investigating further.

But before long, they are both on the run together and someone mysterious is helping them. They try to find out what is going on, why they are being chased and why. There is a lot of action and the characters are complex and memorable. The first in a trilogy, I look forward to how this series develops. Great read!
