To call high school junior Genesis Strange an introvert is an understatement to end all understatements. Her middle name should be "Socially Awkward." When she's in the 8-Bit Arcade inside Virtual Gamedom, though, watch out; she owns the leaderboards. She's happy enough with this almost-anonymous virtual life, but things have a way of changing. First there's the huge contest inside VG that focuses on the 8-bitters and other classics, games she excels at, but which will turn heads her way. Then there are the people who want to be her friend, not just virtually, but in dreaded real-life, too. And if all of that wasn't enough to get her head spinning, her major crush might actually have feelings for her. Yeah, all of this might be a bit too much to handle, especially when the gamer jerks start pouring on the H8. Can Genesis rise above it all and win in VG…and real life?
