Small town romance meets high-tech suspense. Can a software genius defeat a mafia kingpin? Ally Egan is a starry-eyed artist with a broken heart. She would do just about anything to get away from her close-knit small town and travel the world. But her childhood friend, Chip Overton, has returned to make her escape even more unlikely. Chip, software genius extraordinaire, has always loved Ally.
