Synopsis: After mankind’s folly has reduced the earth to a wasteland, the surviving citizens of the world’s enclosed cities escape from harsh reality by plugging into DreamLife, a virtual reality allowing players to combat monsters and live to play again.
When the inventor of an exciting new game known as The Afterlife dies while jacked into her own creation, her death falls under the jurisdiction of Carver, a police "Dream Breaker" whose beat is the line between escapism and addiction.
