While at NURV, he starts falling for a young programmer named Lisa (Cook), which wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the fact that [[LoveTriangle he already has a girlfriend]] in Alice (Forlani). However, after his programmer buddy Teddy is murdered, Milo starts to uncover evidence that NURV may have been behind it... and the murder of countless other programmers in order to steal their work and claim it as their own. Out of a mix of duty to his dead friend and disgust at his employers, Milo sets out to destroy NURV from within and [[InformationWantsToBeFree give Synapse to the people]]... unless NURV stops him first and claims him as their next victim.
