After spending a year studying together in Singapore, three teenage girls; Ally, from Australia, Emma from Germany and Jackie, a Singaporean local are getting ready to say goodbye. Facing the sad reality that they are about to split up, a present from Jackie's brother lifts their gloom a little. He's found some new software that'll enable them to have their very own chatroom and the girls realise that they can continue their friendship through cyberspace. But when they first log in, something goes horribly amiss and they each become engulfed by an explosion of energy. Suddenly they find they've been instantly transported to a strange and featureless void. Terrified, the three friends wonder where they are and — even more important — will they ever get back home?
