It was called in as a robbery at Hayek Associates, an online game company. So you can imagine Sergeant Sue Smith's mood as she watches footage of the heist being carried out by a band of orcs and a dragon, and realises that the robbery from an online game company is actually a robbery from an online game.

Just wonderful. Like she has nothing better to do. But when the bodies of actual people start to show up, it's clear that there is something very dangerous and very real going on at Hayek Associates.

If this is a game, someone is playing for keeps. No cheats, no back doors, no extra lives.
