Sean King, espion free-lance, est embauché par une entreprise high-tech afin d'enquêter sur la mort suspecte de l'un de ses chercheurs. Le siège social de cette entreprise est aussi bien protégé des intrusions extérieures que la Maison Blanche : on ne plaisante pas avec l'espionnage industriel. Pourtant, un autre mathématicien y est assassiné. Qui en veut à ces scientifiques, et sur quels projets travaillent-ils réellement ?
Sean s'obstine à comprendre ce qui se trame dans ces mystérieux laboratoires, où les physiciens de haut niveau côtoient des informaticiens de pointe, mais aussi des agents de la CIA et une adolescente autiste. Bientôt, il en sait trop pour sa propre sécurité : il existe des secrets si terrifiants qu'il vaut mieux les oublier.

Le vrai pouvoir, c'est le génie humain.
