Stanley Jobson is a former hacker whose conviction for computer crimes has left him forbidden to touch a computer or to see his 10-year-old daughter, Holly. Thus, when Ginger, a beautiful and alluring woman, suddenly shows up and offers him a job hacking into government computers for her boss, Gabriel Shear, Stanley is torn.
While he needs the money to fight his ex-wife in court over custody of Holly, he knows that if he's caught in his old ways, he may be put away for good. Despite the ramifications, the amount of money offered is too enticing. He joins Gabriel's team: Ginger; a tough henchman named Marco; and others - including U.S. Senator Reisman, who is financing their operation.
Stanley sets out to hack into a government computer system to steal a secret government slush fund. Eventually Gabriel reveals that they are not simple criminals but rather are rogue agents waging a covert war against terrorism, even when the governments that originally hired them no longer support such a mission. The stolen funds would allow them unlimited resources in their covert war. The hacker must deal not only with Gabriel's lethal behavior and suspicious nature, but also Agent Roberts, the government field agent who previously arrested him and is now intent on capturing both him and Gabriel.
