"Beyond our world lies the unseen Wired World, a liberating form of reality visited only by the mind. Toru and his team of hackers once called this place their own, until tragedy splintered them forever. But Toru cannot let go. Pressed into service by the militaristic FLAK, Toru fights to regain the freedom he once had, but as the struggles against FLAK's control, his quest for revenge and liberty make him unable to distinguish truth from reality."
