    Brief synopsis

    Unable to relate to the other kids at her new school, Jennifer feels awkward and left out. Her only joy is being able to secretly disappear into the fantasy world of a virtual reality game. With this becoming more and more of an obsession, Jennifer starts to neglect her schoolwork and family responsibilities, overriding her parents' warnings and attempts to stop her. Increasingly, her life in the real world and the virtual world gets out of balance.
