You are a 30 year old man, Jacob, living in a world where everyone is addicted to a neural reality game called Endless Paradise. The world is mostly empty except for those still carrying out jobs in real life and those that refuse to spend their entire time in the game. You also partake in this addiction and work as a play tester for Endless Paradise by testing new software. This testing gets you into trouble and causes you to encounter real life people willing to harm others for their own gain.
