Harvey Hudson is an emotionally scarred, fifty-six-year-old history professor who has lost his job, his wife, and his self-respect. In desperation, Harvey takes a high-tech job for which he is totally unqualified.
So, he outsources it to India.
Then Harvey discovers that a Russian intelligence agency owns the outsourcing company and is using him to launch a cyberattack on the U.S. petroleum industry.
Harvey now finds himself in a world of trouble with the Russians and the FBI, and he has fallen in love with the woman from New Delhi who's doing the job he's outsourced-who might be a Russian agent.
