Publisher's Synopsis
SERIES DESCRIPTION: Six young tech-savvy hackers and coders break into Long Island's Gameland, a once-militarized wasteland that has been abandoned to the Infected Undead for over a decade. Now reclaimed by a megalithic corporation with deep ties to the government, Gameland has been turned into live-action virtual reality survival gaming arcade. But while breaking into The Game is a lot easier than they could ever have imagined, breaking back out ends up being one hell of a killer. EPISODE 3: Deadman's Switch Unable to escape from Long Island because of the failsafe device implanted inside their brains, the group digs in until they can devise a way to neutralize it. Jessie is anointed as their leader despite Jake's claims that she is unfit. A final desperate attempt is made to leave, setting into motion a sequence of events that will result in one of them dead, another infected, and all of them running for their lives. EPISODE 4: Sunder the Hollow Ones A mutiny in the group splits the members, leaving Jessie out in the cold. As she continues to struggle to fulfill her promise to bring everyone safely home, a chance encounter with one of Gameland's residents dredges up deeply buried memories, leaving her feeling haunted and doubtful about her future.
