Tyler MacCandless can't focus, even when he takes his medication. He can't focus on school, on his future, on a book, on anything other than taking care of his older brother, Brandon, who's in rehab for heroin abuse... again.
Tyler's dad is dead and his mom has mentally checked out. The only person he can count on is his Civilian Air Patrol Mentor, Rick. The one thing in life he doesn't suck at is playing video games.
Just when it seems like his future is a life sentence at McDonald's, Rick asks him to test a video game. If his score's high enough, it could earn him a place in flight school. And when he falls in love with the game's designer, Ani, Tyler thinks his life might finally be turning around. That is, until Brandon goes MIA from rehab and Tyler and Ani discover that the game is more than it seems.
Now Tyler must figure out what's really going on in time to save his brother - and prevent his future from going down in flames...
