Everyone's worst information-age nightmare comes true for Angela Bennett (Bullock): to be erased from existence by a simple keystoke. The computer hacker, who has spent the past four years living on the Internet having minimal face-to-face human interaction, stumbles across a program powerful enough to interfere with Wall Street, the federal government and air-traffic control. The owners of the program pursue her and change her name on all computer databases, and she must outwit them to regain her identity.
