A device that connects your brain directly to everything cyberspace has to offer - what could possibly go wrong? John Talbot leads a team of scientists that has developed an 'interface' - a micro device that connects the brain directly to a computer and the world beyond, opening up endless commercial possibilities. John arrives at work to news that a key team member has died in a plane crash, just weeks before their exciting technology is demonstrated publicly for the first time. What once had the potential to make the team wealthy beyond belief now threatens the company with bankruptcy. At the eleventh hour, an offer from the U.S. army to invest in the technology enables it to proceed to the final trial before commercialisation, but many question the army's motives. Phase one of the trial shows amazing promise, albeit with a few hiccups, but phase two is delayed when another team member - Mac Patterson - seemingly loses his mind and goes missing. Time becomes the true enemy as John must lead the search to find Mac in order to save his friend's life and the technology's potential, risking his own sanity in the process. But what is he missing as he is confronted with one obstacle after another?
