From a tip supplied by a snitch Jack Wiley enlists the aid of Level 9 to raid a group of hackers who ar ein the process of selling a list of top secret NATO safehouses, in Iraq, to Saddam Hussain. The hackers wipe their computers and while Level 9 try to find the information they come across some stolen plane codes, used for controlling a new super-computer controlled plane. Later, while undergoing evaluation tests, the computer piloted passenger jet is electronically hijacked and crashed. It's only passengers, two supervising pilots, are killed. The hijacker soon makes his demands known and threatens to take down an airliner fully loaded with passengers if they are not met.

Level 9 must capture this cyber-jacker and locate and de-program his digital bomb before it sends a plane full of passengers plummeting to their deaths.
