A surreal, darkly fantastical descent into a digital nightmare where a man's bond with his dog becomes the anchor between reality and a nightmarish game world.

Conor Marsh lives a secluded life with his dog, Sandy, until one day he begins playing OBEX, a new, state-of-the-art computer game. When Sandy goes missing, the line between reality and game blurs and Conor must venture into the strange world of OBEX to bring her home.
