Synopsis[]
Adam enters the virtual reality universe to convince Derby to return to the real world.
Overview[]
Derby is spending all his time on the computer, playing "Pixel City," as his virtual alter-ego, Antoine Bolognese. Set on convincing Derby to rejoin the real world, Adam enters the game to track him down. But it won't be easy, since Derby has digitally recreated the entire Finnegan gang to serve and protect him. While Adam tries to stop Derby from playing too much, Adam uses this opportunity to build a relationship with Echo, but he fails to do so.
