Storyline:
In the arena of dreams... the toughest battles aren’t always on the screen.
A suspended esports prodigy struggling to reclaim his career is given a last chance: join a floundering SMBG team on the verge of collapse.
The mission? Fix the team. Fix his reputation. Maybe fix himself.
But things get complicated fast.
Reuniting with an ex-lover who’s still nursing old wounds, and falling for a new teammate who shakes up everything he thought he knew, the gamer finds himself caught in a web of loyalty, ambition, and heartache — both inside the game and far beyond it.
When the stakes are high and hearts are vulnerable... winning the game might be the easiest part.
