– John Winters, an AI developer fresh from college, has a passion for character development. His expertise, combined with Sara Anderson's expertise in virtual reality, ignite a revolutionary concept coding original characters from the Mega-Man games into virtual AI. Solidifying their accomplishments with the backing of a team of engineers, the two create a demo and garner immediate attention from tech giants and the government—even though the characters are just beginnings. With their promise of incredible potential, the task of pursuing their tech falls to the two of them.

– Pushed to their limits, John and Sara are in a race against the government and tech companies to keep their ideas and characters secure. To further this, they take to the road, traveling across America to find venues with the capacity to adhere to their strict privacy protocols. As their search leads to unexpected territories, the pair soon realizes their venture has greater implications for the world; not only will their characters change the way people interact with computer technology, but the potential for this development reaches into fabricated virtual realms. With their trail of ideas ever-warming, the two have no choice but to keep going if they are to make a difference.

– Palpable tension rises for John and Sara as their venture is on the brink of derailing; as their journey reaches its peak, the duo is confronted with one challenge after another, with seemingly no end in sight. As their characters become close to discovery, their daring quest leads them to an impasse wherein they are forced to make an essential decision are the two willing to risk their own safety and exploration to save the characters they have created? Will they make the ultimate sacrifice to protect these new benchmarks of artificial intelligence or accept the risk of these characters falling into the wrong hands?

– Despite their uncertain circumstance, John and Sara resolve to stand their ground in the face of danger and set a plan in motion. With Sara leading the way through various platforms, John creates an intricate matrix of data-encoded characters and their secrets strewn across the internet safely hidden behind encrypted passwords. With this, the two successfully develop a series of hidden protocols so innovative that no one can ever find where their creations dwell in the digital universe. Having forged the strongest defense against their possible pursuers, the couple comes out victorious, now left with nothing more than a sore remembrance of the intensity of their adventure. The characters they forged remain safe, and they take solace in the knowledge that they may return to the digital world when they wish.
