Welcome to HIVE, the world's most popular virtual reality simulator. Everyone's addicted to it--except Kara Tilden. She has no time for games since her mom disappeared, and Kara believes HIVE had something to do with it.

But when a big update drops, a glitch in the system traps everyone--including Kara--inside HIVE, and there's no way out. In order to escape, Kara and her friends must venture deeper into HIVE than ever before and uncover the very real dangers lurking in this virtual world.

Will Kara be able to beat HIVE at its own game?
