If everything you'd ever worked for was stolen from you, what would you do? For Alex Guggenheim, a software wunderkind betrayed by the people closest to him, the answer was packing up for a trip to insanity and it looks like he's got a one-way ticket there. But he may have the opportunity to turn things back to his advantage when he meets Alisha, a strange woman with a gift for being in just the right place and an even stranger gift for Alex himself. As for what he'll do with her otherworldly offerings...he'll cross that bridge when he comes to it.
