Ben lives in a universe unto itself. He hides from his harsh reality of school, being
bullied, and awkward social interactions by escaping into his favorite online
computer game, Archlord, where he is safe, strong, and in control of his
surroundings. In this remarkable drama, Ben devises a plan to leave his reality
and to become the hero he dreams of being.
