Project Probe had three rules: pick a team, play the game, win.
According to fourteen-year-old Jordan Scarlen, the sleepy village of Durston wasn't all that bad. He had his friends, he had his football, more importantly, he had his video games. Only, one particular game was about to plunge that happy world into darkness, changing his life forever.
Thrust into a situation he doesn't understand, Jordan and a small group of friends abandon their homes and undertake a harrowing journey in search of the truth. A journey where weird people intent on repopulating their town and a dysfunctional government imposing curfews, leaves Jordan wondering if the game he loves so much, is indeed real.
But if they want to survive and find their families, will Jordan and his friends risk their lives to save an uncertain future. Or, will the game win.

Youth, especially those born in the years after the Ascendancy's rise to power, have begun questioning the truth about the world they live in, and their place in it. In the midst of this unrest, a group of teenagers discovers an ancient artifact, believed to be a key to unlocking the world's true history and the secrets of the Ascendancy's origins.
