Five friends play the beta of a new computer game that brings about the end of Earth. As they enter the realm of the game to escape certain death, Kieran realizes an unfortunate fact - both his server and client are complete strangers. Working together, they have to figure out how to adapt to new worlds and save crumbling civilizations.

Robin awakens in a large high school-like building alongside eight others, who have been selected as participants in the Nonary Game. As they progress through the building and seek a way out, though, it seems that their decisions will affect more lives than just their own. This game they're playing has important implications for the future - and the past. M for language & violence.
