This book follows two people from very different backgrounds; Lena, an American artist, and Fionn,an Irish oil company executive, who meet on a virtual game called Second Life. They quickly form a bond that takes them through a fantasy life of Simulated Computer Environments as their created "avatars" in the game, to the real life romance that trancends into online real life, despite the complication of Fionne's being married and having a grown daughter.
It is also the story of their personal journey....Fionne's unhappiness with the life he has led, and Lena's skeptism about love and romance. They ignite feelings and possibilities that both had never dared to dream about, which FIonn describes as being like living in black and white, and then suddenly discovering color.
