A high-octane heist thriller built on misdirection and double-crosses, where a morally ambiguous rogue agent recruits a desperate hacker for a $9 billion score.

Rogue agent Gabriel Shear is determined to get his mitts on $9 billion stashed in a secret Drug Enforcement Administration account. He wants the cash to fight terrorism, but lacks the computer skills necessary to hack into the government mainframe. Enter Stanley Jobson, a n'er-do-well encryption expert who can log into anything.
