Jason Savage is a young, nonconformist college professor in the small town of Kingman in Upstate New York, and he has made an amazing discovery. The revelation of a global universal computer could change life for every person on earth. Never before has there been a technological innovation that could impact so many people.

Not everyone is happy. Even Jason struggles with the ethical and practical concerns over the capabilities of a universal computer. He finds himself in the middle of a worldwide tug-of-war, and Kingman is the unlikely site of this tension.

Due to his specialization, Jason is teamed with the local sheriff working to solve a murder and deal with the escaped killers. A trial begins, and Jason finds himself front and center. He works to convince the judge, jury, and all concerned of the validity of his reports. Publicity grows over Jason's claims, and many individuals, corporations, and governments attempt to force their involvement. Jason now strives to handle the pressure of a life-altering discovery in a world fueled by fear and greed.
