The bizarre world within a videogame that a designer and her team created soon becomes the reality in which they live. Trapped in a toxic building, the team must escape.

Everyone begins to test the boundaries of their psychoses. The team's quest brings them face to face with former friends, now enemies, as death draws perilously close.

Eddie and Denny engineer a game-play staple: A race-against time to save a life hanging in the balance. Jaz determines they will succeed. An unlikely source thinks otherwise.

Eddie snatches the most vulnerable player from the group. All but Jaz believes he is dead. It is worse. Our heroes' frantic search leads them to the building's other levels.

Jaz hones her evolving skills of perception to locate the missing player. The team then descends into the lowest levels of the building where they discover their greatest threat.

Jaz slips into a personal state of hell, one mirrored by the vile energy of the building. Eddie seizes the opportunity to finish his tutorial. Soon, the true villain is exposed.
