What if messing up insanely in a video game could somehow cause serious catastrophic events on Earth? Like maybe a devastating hurricane or an airplane crash? That's what happens to eighteen-year-old Bladen, after he's chosen to play in the real-life game Arcis. At first he thinks it's cool, until his dreams become plagued by a black widow spider that begs for his help; death players want to murder life players like him on Earth, and Bladen realizes that when a level is lost, disasters can't be stopped. Bladen's life becomes more and more tormented, as he stumbles between two worlds filled with hatred, jealousy, and love, until he hits a turning point and has to decide what he wants--to continue to sacrifice in the game, even if it costs him his life, or give it all up for his first love.
