The humans are told that they will be freed from this virtual world when the time is right, but their memories have been taken from them to prevent them from deciphering the truth.
The story follows the journey of two rebels, Galileo Figaro and Scaramouche, as they try to remember who they are and save humanity from its simulated reality. With the help of a group of fellow rebels, they discover that rock music has the power to break through the Grid’s control and allow people to remember who they really are. They formulate a plan to overthrow Globalsoft’s control by spreading rock music throughout iPlanet and reawakening humanity’s memories.
