A coon hunter stumbles onto a trailer full of brightly lit computer terminals… and one electrocuted corpse. A cop stops a car with the drug-wired daughter of the president of DataForm — a transplanted Silicon Valley security firm.

There is something rotten in Dubois, Arkansas.

An estranged husband-and-wife detective team temporarily rejoin forces, following a bizarre trail to big bucks and murder… as schemes, scams, and a seemingly superhuman computer turn a sleepy southern town into a high-tech hotbed.
