For Duke and his friends, Jason and Melissa, the thrill of hacking into computer systems was simply that they could. It was like slipping into a double-locked room through a crack in the floor board. They didn’t steal or infect anything while they were there; they just wanted to hang out and look around without anyone knowing they were there. Not anymore. Not since Avanti Chemical Corporation led a jury to wrongly convict Duke Stanton’s father of embezzlement. Determined to clear his father’s name, Duke crosses the line from simply surfing to the dark side of hacking risking identity, friendship, his own safety.
