What if your life could be tampered with by just pressing a few commands on a keyboard? It the new state of living now, entering a simulation, staring at a series of 1's and 0's, continuing with life as you would. In the simulation, life is perfect. You can rewind when you want to, make mistakes and receive no punishment. In the real world, however, those who can't afford the simulation are truly in a living hell. A strong separation comes between those at peace and those not. Fern Baker is one without the simulation. The "real world" is all she's ever known. When she gets a taste of the simulation, however, at a friend's birthday party, her life will never be the same.

What would happen if emotions became socially unacceptable? If love made people nervous? If laughter drew too much attention? If sadness was hidden to survive? Selene spent her entire life growing up in this society, learning to look unaffected whilst everything explodes inside. Every reaction is observed, measured, and quietly judged before it becomes a problem. In this society, people are rewarded for being obedient, predictable and quiet. She is none of those things. When she begins speaking to someone she was never supposed to find, the conversations feel harmless at first. But soon, the person she finds speaks to the parts of her that the world has taught her to silence. Once tasting the possibility of genuine connection in a world like hers, there's no going back.
