Divya Sharma is a queen. Or she is when shes playing Reclaim the Sun, the years hottest online game. Divya better known as popular streaming gamer D1V regularly leads her #AngstArmada on quests through the games vast and gorgeous virtual universe. But for Divya, this is more than just a game. Out in the real world, shes trading her rising-star status for sponsorships to help her struggling single mum pay the rent.
Gaming is basically Aaron Jerichos entire life. Much to his mothers frustration, Aaron has zero interest in becoming a doctor like her, and spends his free time writing games for a local developer. At least he can escape into Reclaim the Sun and with a trillion worlds to explore, disappearing should be easy. But to his surprise, he somehow ends up on the same remote planet as celebrity gamer D1V.
At home, Divya and Aaron grapple with their problems alone, but in the game, they have each other to face infinite new worldsand the growing legion of trolls populating them. Soon the virtual harassment seeps into reality when a group called the Vox Populi begin launching real-world doxxing campaigns, threatening Aarons dreams and Divyas actual life. The online trolls think they can drive her out of the game, but everything and everyone Divya cares about is on the line
And she isnt going down without a fight.
