Koda always chases the ray of light beyond his broken reality, coming up as a teen from North Boulder. Tech companies sharply divided the city into two realities: the successful white-collars who transformed Boulder into the Silicon Valley of the Midwest, and the leftover inhabitants who are left to survive north of the Divided Road. When he needs an escape from the world, he and his friends turn to the Axys, the limitless virtual utopia where impossible is only a word. The frontier of the digital universe, created by the Three Kings, sits on the horizon of a groundbreaking immersion.
Nanofluid rigs promise a leap in technology that blurs the line between the real and the digital. When Koda and his friends receive the first batch, their experience reaches far beyond anything they could ever imagine. However, the fun is short-lived when a rig explodes and forever transforms their lives. To get to the truth, they must uncover the secrets that lie under the surface of paradise, create unexpected alliances, and trust their instincts beyond the deceiving interests of others. Traveling between both worlds, Koda must outwit both brilliant and vicious aggressors to prevent the hidden agenda of an industry giant, one who dreams of evolving human society into his image of perfection.
