When a rival attempts to steal the experimental protosilicon computer, compromising it with a virus, Jonathan's injured and transformed, with the computer downloading part of itself into his mind and completely rebuilding his body.

As Digitek, he becomes a new superhero - and his first task is to recover the computer that created him. Unfortunately, the virus is still affecting the computer, and it’s now transformed three of the thieves in a similar, but far more sinister, way.
