In the year 2036, the world celebrates the brilliant game developer Casimir "Cash" Novacek for creating the world's ultimate virtual MMORPG game. Aurarium allows its players to not only play in pre-designed game worlds, but also create their own scene, place, event or game world. Aurarium absorbs their ideas via a specially designed brain connection to the mainframe so their imaginings become a permanent part of the game. But Cash discovers a problem....

The multi-billion dollar company that funded his creation is using his ground-breaking brain-to-computer connection to siphon out any information it wants from the millions of players. To prevent them from stealing players' minds, and perhaps controlling them next, Cash determines to enter the game, visit his hidden administrative consoles only he knows exist, and shut them down.

Yet, as Cash enters his own virtual world, he discovers they're aware of his plan, have locked him inside Aurarium, and if he fails to find a way out, he'll die in the game...and in reality. And that's not the company's only plan for his removal. They've sent in an assassin to ensure his death.
