Expelled from Northwest Missouri State University, Mev Hayes unexpectedly finds herself at a high-tech lab in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at the MIT building, working on her revolutionary computer research. Meanwhile, a hacker known as the Raven is stealing technologies from local companies and universities. The authorities suspect he is selling them to the Soviet Union. However, after the FBI arrests Mev's father on charges related to a Ponzi scheme, she realizes there's something sinister going on. Can she and her friends uncover the truth?
