Seated in a seemingly ordinary Kansas restaurant, Scott and Rebecca Kelly have no idea they're the latest captives of The System, an alternate reality shaped by a mysterious sentient force.
As the two have a chance meeting with veterans of The System, financial analysts Patricia Vaughn and Jeffery MacPherson are flung into one of The System's mysterious temples only to find themselves captured by art thieves. As they struggle to come to grips with their new, ever-shifting reality, two more players enter The System: computer wizards Carla Anderson and John Haviland find themselves in a strange facility battling against time to prevent a nuclear disaster.
The three couples must now play The System's strange, erratic games, aided only by each other and occasional assistance from a few veterans of The System. They'll face a wild-eyed anarchist, neo-Mayans, a drugged-out rock band, medieval Scots, and the Normandy Invasion. They won't always survive, but in The System, death is never permanent, and love is the most important reality.
