0During a violent thunderstorm at a poor, farming village in Mexico, lightning strikes and a man appears out of thin air. His body is covered in horrible scars, and he has no memory of who he is or where he came from. 2,500 miles away, in Crooked Lake, Michigan, two high school seniors, Jason and Adam, are about to have their friendship pushed to the limit when a mysterious hacker named Lazarus enters their lives. Lazarus is the world's greatest hacker and a zealous social warrior who makes a lot of big talk about starting a revolution and "curing" humanity. Adam is enthralled, but to Jason, she's just another computer nerd and conspiracy theorist caught up in the world's culture wars. Back in Mexico, the strange man with the scars is slowly recovering his memories. There is something he must do. Something he was sent to do... Stop Lazarus. These two independent narratives will converge into one explosive storyline. What they have in common: Lazarus. To Adam, she's a friend; to Jason, she's a nuisance; and to the man with the scars, she's the deadliest threat the world has ever faced.
