When a desperate scientist uploads his dying wife’s consciousness to a computer, he believes he has cheated death, but when she begins uploading others against their will, he’ll lead a ragtag team into a virtual world to shut her down.

The obvious demographic target for the story is geeks, nerds, computer savants. Rather than the term "ragtag" which may convey the wrong negative impression, I suggest appealing to their intelligence with the term "code warriors". The team may be "ragtag" in their lifestyle and backgrounds, but they can't be ragtag in terms of their skill set. When it comes to hacking, they have to be the A team.

Valid point, I guess I was trying to get across that he does love his wife and would do anything for her, that his initial act is one of kindness, although may not have been entirely thought it through. However, grieving is something I see this character as having to learn to do throughout the story, where perhaps he has been avoiding the fact that his wife is beyond saving because he is either responsible for her fate or just can bare the pain.
I do get your point though so I may work to tweak the character description.
