It's launch day for Nexus Advanced Systems Technology, Inc. — better known as NASTI. Millions of VR gamers are lined up, eager to get chipped and jack in.

Ariel and Jenna, elite beta testers, are assigned a simple task: escort a group of noobs through a training simulation. Just a friendly round of Capture the Flag.

But nothing in NASTI's games ever goes according to plan.

The tutorial turns deadly. The rules change. And Ariel and Jenna soon realize they've been set up. In NASTI's world, dying in cyberspace means dying for real.

Now the only way out is through. They'll need more than skill to survive—

They'll need luck. And maybe a miracle.
