Dick Thornby is not Hollywood's notion of a spy. In his hard and tumble job there are no designed Italian suits, no bimbos eager to please, and no considerable underground fortresses built by wicked overlords seeking world domination - just an countless series of sinister risks to the safety and security of the billions of mundane people of the earth. Sure, Dick's tough and he recognizes a few tricks to help him escape a tight area, even if his employer accuses him of over-reliance on a good amount of explosives. But he's also received a home loan, a wife annoyed by his regular absences on "business" vacations, and an increasingly alienated teen-age child who spends way too much time participating in in video gaming worlds on the computer. When a young computer expert back at the Philadelphia head office for The Subsidiary, an international espionage firm created in the aftermath of 9/11, discovers that criminals get excited about an enormous conspiracy, Dick is compelled to partner with the espionage neophyte to fight wicked on multiple fronts, leading to a final confrontation that features real-world conspiracy ideas and cutting-edge technology. In the long run, Dick can save his partner, save his marriage, save his child, or save the world, but he can't do it all.
