When Anston Michaels returns home from his stressful fishing trip weekend, he finds Rebecca, his latest would-be girlfriend, sitting on his porch. They have a date that night, which he's forgotten about, and she's here to collect. Sure, that morning he nearly lost his lucky fishing pole to a sea monster that would've taken it to the bottom of the sea had his friend, George, not been faster with the scissors. And sure, the thought of tangling with yet another adversary to his quiet livelihood before he even gets the chance to shower leaves him feeling anxious. But, he kinda likes her, so he'll play her game. While he gets ready for the date, however, he checks his answering machine to discover that someone more important has called while he was away, and this person is someone he can't ignore. Even though acknowledging the caller's request means losing the date, and most likely the beautiful Rebecca with it, he has to meet with him. It's a matter concerning his ex-wife who has just escaped from the mental hospital where Anston had her committed to a year ago. The caller is concerned she's coming home to see him, and she may not be happy. What follows is a mad journey into the mind of woman who seeks murder or marriage, reconciliation or revenge, or something far more sinister than any of the above, and Anston must rescue her from her madness and stop her from ruining both of their lives before it's too late. But is it actually madness that drives her? And is it really her who needs the rescuing? The Computer Nerd is the suspenseful but quirky tale of a former married couple who seems to constantly walk out of step with each other, even when their love still lingers just beneath the surface, even when their livelihoods are at stake. Their journey is sometimes frightening and sometimes ridiculous, but no relationship is perfect, and they rediscover their range of feelings and their depth of understanding for each other while they work together to deal with a personal crisis that combines kidnap, conspiracy, and, worst of all, forced love into a tidy little demented weekend getaway package that neither is sure they'll survive thanks to the sociopathic third party who's tagged along for the ride.
