The year is 2045 and most people have abandoned the usual gaming system to adopt a virtual gaming world. Circus the VR World is an escape from reality offering a playground of new and exciting experiences. The virtual world starts as a normal pastime but soon evolves into a real-world crisis. The gameplay is dependent on a virtual currency which leads players to crippling addiction, criminal activity and a disconnect from society as they try to keep their fantasy personas intact. When the founder of Circus is murdered in cold blood, the virtual world and its robust economy are shaken, which could mean disastrous results in the real world. Grizzled detective Julian Ambrose is tasked with finding the killer, having lost his own family to the addictive game’s real-life consequences. Will Ambrose uncover the truth and save humanity or will he succumb to the virtual world’s charms and leave behind his tragic past.
