This is a dark and terrifying tale of the living nightmare that 13-year-old Josh Harrison found himself in.

Josh inherits a computer game that was invented by his now-deceased, eccentric uncle.

It is a game that no one has played to the end - until now.

As Josh plays the game, the virtual on-screen deaths become part of his reality.

As the people he knows start dying all around him, he no longer wants to play.

But the game has other ideas.

Josh is forced to play on.

The creatures in the game continue to become more powerful, stronger and sickeningly evil in their murderous and torturous ways.

How can Josh stop what's happening?

And what can he do when the game turns its attention on the two people who he cares about the most?

This is a chilling story that will make you afraid of the dark forever.
