The contest offers a once-in-a-lifetime prize, a massive cash reward, and a coveted job at ImmersiTech, where the winners will help shape the future of virtual reality.
While they work to get their levels up, Kai avoids the idea of them meeting for the contest. What is Kai hiding? Will Phoebe get into the contest and meet her one and only best friend? Who is he really?
