Cluster Phuk paints an apt picture of issues in our culture and society today: cyber security, espionage, hopelessness, and greed. Crime is permeating our smaller towns. So, when there is a double homicide in this picturesque town, high priority attention is given to the situation. Phuk and Shanks show us how they go about controlling and investigating the homicides, only to find the crime is connected to the theft of a microchip at Clinton Micro Systems.
