What happens when those who created the fabric of reality suddenly appear?
College student Peter Kane is about to find out.
While on Long Island's famed East End during a break from classes, Peter is attacked by a mysterious assailant with both the skills and appearance of something straight out of a video game. After he somehow survives the attack, Peter is approached by an enigmatic stranger who reveals Peter has been selected to play a game, the stakes of which are no less than the fate of the world.
Peter soon realizes that merely winning the game won't be enough to save the world-he must wrestle control away from those who control everything. And if he can't figure out how to accomplish that seemingly impossible feat, his reality doesn't stand a chance at surviving.
