2011. Two years before Snowden. 24-year-old Finn returned from Japan last year, a Darknet impresario with Yakuza ties.

Pulling him into her limelight of nightclubs and upscale parties, she thinks she’s figured him out—but she has no idea. He plays his double life against both sides. But when a foiled heist wipes out his hacker team, Finn loses himself within his rising celebrity as young society’s latest It-girl, unsure of the way back or a way out…elf?
