A witty and fresh tale of youth both trapped and liberated by technology. Darcy and her reluctant sister enter the world of a virtual reality video game. Inside, they are swept up in a drug ring that their suburban existence has not equipped them for. On top of this, their IT histories are available to all players and there’s no way of knowing if those you meet are real or a bunch of pixels.

Both hilarious and strange, this world premiere evokes a new reality for both characters and audience. How many games do we play already?
