Description: Neal Ori is a weak and introverted boy who finds solace in video games. Neal's family goes on a picnic and invites his sister's best friend, Teri, along. After a dam breaks and sends roaring water through the playground, Neal bravely risks his own life to save Teri from drowning. Teri tries to reach out to him, but Neal has already retreated to the safety of his shell. As he interacts with the strong, handsome character he creates in a video game, Neal is clueless that dark forces have already set out to destroy him.
