We learn how two bands of hackers, the Seekers and the Moles, must cooperate to rescue Ghora, a Seeker. Using technology that survived the Dark War, the hackers sent Ghora inside the file (as a virtual representation of her mind) to find the access code for File Zero, but she was trapped in the file when a security sweep from the System located her signal. The Seekers need the help of the Moles to bring back Ghora's mind before her body gives out or she is killed by The System's assassins, The Lookers.
