Cameron starts to connect the dots as underground markets are flooded with stolen files. But the cybercriminals are ahead of them, hunting down the SimCavalier who has thwarted their plans once too often. Everything points to a single cybercrime syndicate controlling a wave of thefts, and the mysterious Yasmin the Admin who calls the shots. Ross thinks he's found the people involved, but it may be too late. Cameron's cover is blown and her home is attacked. Can she take down the syndicate before it strikes at the heart of her family?

Exposing him could bring the whole delicate operation crashing down. With time running out and the terrorists counting down to their next attack, the pressure is on.
