As he comes to grips with both the gravity and permanence of his virtual reality situation, Thomas Hobbes is thrust into the fray when Mike Pinnochio is lured into a trap and captured by a mercenary bounty hunter. Aided by the mute and mysterious Florence, Hobbes goes in search of Pinocchio but winds up captured himself. As Florence works to free our heroes, the bounty hunter, unbeknownst to his female partner (May), cuts a deal with Omar Santiago. In lieu of cash the bounty hunter wants access to the mythological (though real) "portals" that allow individuals to move between Harsh Realm and the real world. Sensing a deal being made behind her back, the female bounty hunter hides Hobbes and Pinnochio in an abandoned tanker truck.
