A real war is unfolding in the streets of St. Petersburg. The appearance of a neurophone that generates virtual worlds while you’re awake split the world into two camps. The “Infected,” using the new gadget, hunt down its opponents—while the most steadfast of them form resistance squads.
Roman Kornev, nicknamed Gladiator, is also “Infected” by a neurophone—but something goes wrong. Roman uses the device for his own purposes, because for unknown reasons the neurophone cannot control him. Gladiator becomes the commander of a rebel unit. But among them, a traitor appears… Someone has to be found out. And who is the “puppet-master” planning to use neurophones to enslave humanity?
