While initially using this newfound power for personal gain and petty revenge, he learns of a dark secret from his father's past that will change him forever. Along the way BACKCHANNEL, a decentralized hacktivist group causing havoc at prisons across the country, reaches out to Tom for help, setting him on a very dangerous path at an already dangerous time" -- Back cover.
