The title refers to a computer game, or to be more specific a MMORPG with a strong social networking element. Katrina is an employee with the company who make money through subscriptions, but she’s got problems : junior co-worker after her job, jobless sister moved in with her.
She plays the junior co-worker at his own game, and the stakes get very high as the daily apocalypse inflicted on players is suddenly quite different – instead of social co-operation, there is competition (mirroring her real life situation).
Neatly handled, which stories featuring computer games aren’t always.
