On the night of the finals, esports champion Lin Xiaofan is caught in a mysterious data storm while playing GTA: Ultimate Remastered. When he wakes, he finds himself in a stitched-together gaming hell. Cacti from San Andreas grow among the shipping containers of Liberty City, Niko Bellic's wedding ring is engraved with the coordinates of the real world, and Trevor's asylum records contain the death reports of Lin Xiaofan's own esports teammates. When Liberty City begins reciting lines from Vice City in the pouring rain, and the lines on your palm become currency for shorting lives, this virtual plague spanning thirty years has already started the countdown to infection in the real world.
