With the help of three electronic confederates who communicate over holographic video conferencing software, Brent confronts the likely killer of his friend. Before proof is found, however, the suspect is himself killed, Brent is attacked several times, and a special undercover UN Internet security force tells Brent his dead friend was spying for them. One explosion, two double-crosses, two gunfights, and three kidnappings later, Brent gets and loses a girlfriend, two bad guys die, one escapes, and one questionable bad guy pretends to save Brent's life. Brent and his Internet partners decide to help other computer people in trouble by starting GeekProtectors.com.
