Gordon Clark is a once-promising engineer who longs for a redo of his past before the humiliating and public failure of Symphonic, a computer he created with his wife, Donna, which failed to turn on at COMDEX, the computer industry trade show. After that, Gordon moved his family to Dallas, Donna’s hometown, and took a job at Cardiff Electric. Before Joe MacMillan approaches him with a plan to reverse-engineer the IBM PC, Gordon had been sleepwalking through life working at a job he is unhappy with.

Now Gordon has a second chance at success, but Joe is a mercurial boss and his vision for their new PC seems out of reach. Gordon must successfully juggle the technical challenges of the new machine, a difficult working relationship with recalcitrant programmer Cameron Howe, and the demands of his family life.
