On the night of the power collapse that left Old Town in darkness, Reason Goodwin's father returned from a day's work at GAME-corp. with their latest creation, the Dream Theatre a games machine to eclipse all others a games machine that would bring dreams to life.
But the power surge severs the link between the dream state and reality, and Reason's father returns to reality changed. He mutters of a world captured by GAME-corp. called Albia, and of game players from Earth unknowingly crossing between the two worlds via The Wire, their avatars playing out their fantasies and destroying Albia.
Now people are dying as Albia fights back, and it is Reason's mission to save her father, Albia, and the very future of Earth itself.
