Synopsis
A series of deadly accidents has struck America. A passenger train runs off the tracks in Florida. An industrial disaster kills hundreds in Texas. A giant airline crashes on takeoff in Chicago. In each case a faulty computer chip was traced as the source of the disaster, and in each case the company was American. As the world loses faith in American technology, one woman realizes that there is more to the problem than a breakdown in American ingenuity and know-how.
Erika Conklin should have had it all. Graduating top of her class as a computer engineer, one prank hacking and she is forced to work for the FBI. Elizabeth sets out to find who is behind what is looking more and more like sabotage. She launches an investigation that spans two continents, unveiling chilling realities behind the glass and steel structures that comprise the corporate world. It's a race against time as the shutdowns cause more and more deaths, and the next one may be just around the corner.
