In the 23rd century, humanity has pushed computing so far they are capable of simulating entire worlds.  By using a variety of quantum technologies, companies produce and operate isolated AI systems which simulate hyper-realistic realities. These artificial realities are used for various things, ranging from military training to games and everything in between. When the technology pioneering conglomerate Nexus Networks decides to try something new, Ashley Grove and her friends are granted the chance to play god and shape a new world. Unfortunately for Ashley, the existence of simulated realities has raised many philosophical questions, and they often feel something - or someone - guiding their actions. Are they really in control? Or is something else guiding them?
