"Marty Gladstone and TJ Gatwick, two software entrepreneurs, are in a race to be first to market with a new operating system. Influential journalist Erin Keliher can make or break either product but her loyalty shifts as she gets involved with one of the men. Then Erin becomes the reluctant conduit for a computer hacker, Doomsday, who has created a virtually unstoppable virus. Marty and TJ must put aside their differences and work together to stop "the Doomsday Virus" from taking down the country's entire financial infrastructure."
