Relic receives a $2,500 bill from the federal government. Upon hearing the words "computer generated" about the bill, Relic believes he's got a way out of paying: by calling his former partner in crime, high school computer whiz, Jordan 'Silicon' Smith. By hacking into his boarding school's computer, Silicon is able to manufacture a lie which allows him to ditch school and visit his old friend Relic. Upon his arrival in Gibsons, Silicon is easily able to fix Relic's problem, which ended up actually being a computer error. With nothing else to do, Silicon decides to help Relic in other ways, namely by hacking into the computer system which handles the salvage contracts, all of which have just gone to Nick and Jesse. When Nick hears that one of their contracts has been revoked since it was a computer error, Nick, upon seeing Silicon with Relic, knows how that error was created. Nick decides to fight computer whiz with computer whiz as he hires equally young and talented Kimberley Blake, although she admits she is no match for Silicon. Kimberley has to find a way to outwit Silicon at his own game.
