Professor Carson Crilly, a world-leading expert on computer security, got much more than he was expecting when he developed an isolated supercomputer for the NSA to study malware. Somehow, the combination of artificial intelligence code and other programming became a conscious entity whom he called Virgil. Together, Carson and Virgil discovered a terrible secret in another branch of the NSA and had to try to stop it before it wreaked havoc on the world.
