With a business disaster looming and a handful of broken dreams behind him, computer expert Simon Northcott knows time is running out to make that big score and find a place in the sun. But now he thinks he's figured out a way to beat the odds.
Northcott has devised a brilliant scheme to hack into the Foreign Exchange markets undetected and extract millions of dollars in just a few seconds. The only problem is, he needs to find a maths genius familiar with Large Number Theory to iron out a few important glitches.
Kay Nocta, nicknamed Thousand, who works with his best friend at the State Department in Washington, fits the bill. But raiding the Forex markets is a very dangerous game, and Thousand is going to need more than a head for numbers to survive.
