Gilbert Clapper is an unassuming IRS accountant who suddenly finds himself the most wanted man on a ruthless mob boss's hit list through no fault of his own. Rather than running, Gilbert decides to fight back and get his name permanently cleared. While recovering from an injury on vacation, he meets a brilliant woman hacker with a unique, illicit side project: a computer program that skims one percent from dormant financial accounts. When her program hits the jackpot-skimming five million dollars from a half-billion-dollar account belonging to a powerful organized crime figure-the heat is on. Now, Gilbert is on the hit list simply for being seen with her. Barely escaping an initial attempt on their lives, the unlikely duo embarks on a desperate global quest-from Atlantic City to Argentina, and finally to the neon glow of Las Vegas-to get their names off the list. Pursued by professional killers and facing down the heads of the West Coast mob, they navigate danger with a surprising sense of humor and an unexpected connection that blossoms into love. Their plans are chaotic, but their goal is clear. Can an accountant and a hacker outwit the entire underworld, or will their last transaction be their own lives?
