Walking home one day, Max- a kid in year 11- clips through a wall upon tripping and finds himself in Allseers, an alternate game world where strangely, all players have eye heads and some of the NPCs seem strangely sentient. Under the alias Leo, he meets Codey, Astor and Walter, who teach him the basics of the game and how to leave. However, those three weren't the only players in this place, and not everyone is as welcoming as them- as they would all soon find out.
