For his entire life, Caleb has always been more comfortable surrounded by books and games than other people. When his brother recommends he try a new dating app, he signs up for FantasyConnection but is too shy to actually meet any of the women they find for him. Together, they reach a workable solution: a simulated dating experience in a setting reminiscent of his favorite stories.

After following the app’s instructions, Caleb wakes up in a vivid fantasy world, complete with a damsel in distress who needs rescuing. While working on his plans to free Alizeira from her prison, he spends time getting to know her, and a mutual attraction develops between them. He is unsure whether she’s a real person playing a part like him, or if she’s simply one piece of the elaborate simulation. Setting her free is the first step to discovering the truth, but can the passion he finds transfer to reality?
