Jerome West a.k.a Roam makes a living streaming a virtual mmorpg set in Japan’s Edo period called Rising Sun: Online. But his budding career becomes the least of his concerns when the latest expansion turns the game into a deathtrap, removing the log out option and frying the brains of players who die in-game. To survive, Roam will have to master the game’s skills, spells and mechanics, all the while navigating the dangers of a foreign land filled with human conflict and spiritual horrors.
