Stuart Sloan is a socially awkward young man who works nights re-stacking shelves at a department store in a large shopping mall. One night, while at work, Stuart Sloan vanishes. No one seems to care about the disappearance except for Mick Biscoe, the hopelessly depressed head of security at the shopping mall. Mick discovers that, while Stuart may have physically disappeared, he continues to virtually exist as a high profile rogue computer programmer and on-line guru within ÒWar WorldÓ, the worldÕs most popular multi-player gaming site.
Mick is not the only one looking for Stuart. His efforts are carefully observed by the unscrupulous owners of War World and two mysterious women: Liz and Mimi. Mick suspects Liz has ulterior motives. He also suspects that the beautiful and loving Mimi may not actually exist.
Mick seeks redemption for his past by finding Stuart, but in doing so, becomes embroiled in a world of corporate espionage, murder and deceit.
