The entire year is 2080 and the planet is congested. To nourish the almost 17 billion, the planet earth has been split into agriculture or city. There is no in between, no margin for mistake in this high-tech world. Farms are ultra-efficient corporations using the latest engineered plants, enormous plants manipulated to grow in any season and produce fantastic yields. Cities are dense and overcrowded, stuffed with men and women working endless time to cover their needs. Their only comfort is Virtual Truth - a man-made world where any illusion can be done - in which a person can appear to be anyone, be everywhere. It really is no wonder people spend every waking hour "jacked in" to the imaginary world. Usage of Virtual Reality is handled by one company, managed by one man. Tatsuo Hamachi has gathered vast prosperity, but his desire for power is greater. Now, he has found out ways to connect human heads directly, with no need of Virtual Truth headsets, where thoughts can move as easily as electricity through a cable. When every human mind is linked - he stands to be head of these all. There are many who have turned down technology for an easier life. Their only desire is to be left in peace. When Alvar, their head, becomes an unwilling guinea pig for Hamachi's tests, he must struggle not limited to his own mind, but those of the complete world.
