Eve 2.0: The Ultimate Gaming Experience

Gwen Nielson is a gamer and she's damn proud of it. To her, life isn't about fashion and make-up; it's about keeping a low profile. And while most of the girls at her high school swoon over the guys on the ski team, Gwen is cool with having a boyfriend she's never met. Pete is a fellow online gamer who lives in California. He's funny and sweet and his father owns a gaming company, which is an added bonus because Gwen gets to test out new games before they're released to the public.On just such an occasion, Pete mails Gwen a new game to beta test, but the package never arrives. To make matters worse, when she calls to let Pete know, she discovers that he's at the hospital after succumbing to a mysterious illness. Hours later, an ambulance arrives next door because her neighbor's youngest son, Ben, suddenly becomes ill too. His parents and doctors aren't sure why he has slipped into a coma, but when Gwen finds her opened package in Ben's bedroom, she begins to suspect that the game is responsible for both of the boys' similar conditions.Even to Gwen, the idea of a game making people sick sounds absurd, so she decides to test her theory before going to her parents. Unfortunately, her neighbor's older brother, Ryan, insists on checking out the game with her. That's when they discover that it isn't a game at all - it's actually a portal into a high-tech government simulator named Eve 2.0, who's programmed to trap players until they can complete all of the timed objectives. With her top-notched gaming skills, Gwen is a formidable opponent, but she quickly begins to realize that playing a game versus living it is a lot harder than she ever imagined. And as the objectives become more difficult and the kids are forced to work as a team, Gwen concedes that she may not be as good as she needs to be, which just might end up costing her not only her own life, but Pete, Ryan, and Ben's too.
