In a far far future, humanity has finally reached the stars and expanded across the galaxy. Unfortunately, we’re not alone. We’ve been at war with another alien race, the Irains, for so long that both sides are almost out of resources. Instead of continuing this bloody war, both sides have agreed to decide the outcome of the war using a full immersion virtual reality game. The winner gets claim over the resource-rich Alpha Centauri system. Leading the fight for the earth forces is Major Talbot, a troublemaking soldier with a knack for out of the box thinking. He’ll need every ounce of unconventional strategy if he’s to win the game with his team.

Nick Stanners has no money. No job. No prospects. He lives in one of the most crime-ridden apartment blocks on the west coast. His girlfriend uses him for a place to stay. His father is on life support. Rent is due next week…
Games are Nick’s passion. He's played them all - well, the old screen ones anyway. He's never been able to afford an Immersion tank and the amazing games that come with them, but he's seen the webcasts. He knows the names of every superstar pixel runner. His heroes.
So when he's picked out of the crowd to participate in a competitive, quest-driven dark fantasy RPG, his brain melts. Could this be his opportunity to get ahead? Or will he be chewed up by the machine, just another failed pixel runner by the side of the road?
