Twelve year-old Jackson Farley is a digital genius. On a robotics scholarship at a high-tech American university, he's having the time of his life - but then an explosion at the nuclear reactor on campus changes everything. Jackson and his fellow gamers are highly suspicious - the attack bears the hallmark of maniacal dot.com billionaire Devlin Lear and his rogue robots. And it appears to be part of a terrifying multimillion-dollar master plan. 
 
But Jackson can't believe Lear is behind the sinister dealings. Devlin Lear is dead. Isn't he?
