Delilah Pelham's brother, Paul, is missing. She should probably be worried about that but honestly, he's been in trouble since the day he learned the words "trust me." In fact, if it weren't for his roommate, Carl, she would gladly leave him to his fate. Carl is a good guy, even if he's a bit of a dork. Okay, a large slice of a dork. Possibly the entire cake. But he wants to help, as do his gamer friends; which is how Deli finds herself in the middle of Hong Kong with the King of the Dorks, running from creepy guys with slicked back hair and shiny black guns. Back at home, Carl's friends aren't faring nearly as well. All they had to do was monitor the situation and feed Deli's cat while she was gone. How could that possibly end in bloodshed?
