The games are over, and there’s no extra lives to use in the nightmare of real life.
In the high-stakes world of competitive video gaming, Ze Santana is more than just a player—he’s a crusader. Determined to make a difference in a digital landscape, Ze’s mission is to protect the vulnerable, especially children, from the predators behind the screen, but nothing he does is enough. They always seem to be one step ahead.
Eight years ago, Madeleine Parker became her little sister’s full-time caregiver and her life has revolved around her family ever since. In a bid to make enough money to break her family’s poverty cycle, Madeleine starts competitive online gaming in what little free time she has. When she wins money in a big online tournament, Madeleine becomes an overnight inspiration to young girls and nobodies alike. Ze and Madeleine join forces for a worldwide online safety campaign.
As the digital and real worlds collide, Madeleine and Ze discover the enemies in the shadows don’t stay behind the screen. They have goals and plans they’re willing to fight for, and even die for. The games are over, and there’s no extra lives to use in the nightmare of real life. All Ze and Madeleine can do is fight to survive, and the best weapon they have is that they’ll fight for each other.
