After hitting the dotcom lottery,
reformed computer hacker Brian
Mercer retires to a life of
ease on Lake Charlevoix, only
to watch his portfolio tank
when the tech bubble bursts.
Resigning himself to rejoining
the workforce, Brian finds
that his skills as a computer
programmer are no longer in
demand. He works a series of
unrewarding jobs until he
falls in love with Miiko,
a young Japanese musician who
feels an odd sexual attraction
to her cello. Mikko introduces
Brian to Grampa Sam, a former
Yakuza boss who claims to have
come across a method of divining
stock prices using the Chinese
I Ching. Under the guidance of
Grampa Sam, Brian begins to repair
his tattered stock portfolio --
until the FBI takes notice of his
unusual trading activity.
Convinced that he is engaging
in fraudulent stock trading,
the FBI arrests him and Brian is
forced to return to his hacker
ways to track down the true culprit.
