After his father's death, sixteen year old Andre Taylor is forced to quit gaming, quit school, get a crappy job, and live in one of New New York's poorest neighborhoods. Life can't get worse.

Until a devastating car accident leaves his mother in a coma, her unborn twins clinging to life, and his sister a hostage. To save them, Dre must excel at Void Legion, the revolutionary update to the Virtual Reality Multiplayer Game, Ataxia Online.

Now, powerful factions want him dead. Genetically-enhanced Player Killers hunt him. And a legion of nightmare creatures have appeared in random places since the world-breaking passage of a voidstorm.

Can Dre adapt to a game beyond his imagination, survive long enough with meager skills against impossible odds, and unearth the secrets of the Void Legion? He must. Or a fate worse that death awaits.
