It's the late 20th century, the dawn of the computer age. A serial rapist is targeting senior women executives in Vancouver's major banks and corporations. Oddball Detective Sergeant Harry Lukovitch and his female partner, Detective Constable Mack Sinclair, are hunting the attacker.

Their search will lead them into the unknown territory of the emerging internet, where E.F.T. – the electronic transfer of funds – is dealt with at only the highest levels of the corporate and banking sectors.

And it will lead Harry into a strange love affair with Dory Lucas, a woman who may or may not have been a victim of the deviant criminal, and then into a deep maelstrom of aberrant psychology he is ill-equipped to deal with, ending in a desperate flight to save Dory from a monster.
