Roberta Ritter's humdrum life working at a failing arcade takes an unexpected turn with the arrival of 'Crusader,' a controversial virtual reality war game. As the game's popularity sparks real-world conflict, Roberta's once-boring existence explodes with betrayals and new alliances. She uncovers secrets about her mother's past, forcing her to distinguish between virtual and actual reality. Through it all, Roberta learns to find her own strength and become her own champion.
