The 17-year-old Jan spends most of his time online. As the daring warrior Fenris, he is one of the best players in the computer game
Battle of Utgard. He's just preparing for an important online tournament when he's suddenly expelled from the game. He frantically realises he's been hacked by another player! Not only is his internet down, his debit card and cell phone are on the blink, too. When he realises that the dark magician “Loki” is behind this, Jan starts the biggest quest of his life – in the real world! He goes on a search for the evildoer and gets to know the aroused gamer girl Karo who has also been hacked. As the two very different teens stumble from one catastrophe to the next on their trip, real life and virtual gaming reality start to intermingle in weird ways.
