Off the Gulf of Mexico, a hacker discovers an ancient encryption he cannot break...he cannot exploit. He disturbs her rest, acquires her full attention. As she moves to execute her plan, the hacker-anomaly named Chase, a gifted computer science professor, brings the full fury of her anger upon the Gulf Coast.

Dr. Chase Reid took up teaching full time in New Orleans to stay out of trouble. Put his hacker exploits behind him. Be a good role model for his son. But old habits die hard. He can't resist chipping away at this encrypted fortress of doom...this enigma that contains the root of all taboo knowledge.
