Summary:
In Mark’s basketball and video gaming worlds, trash talking is the norm and he’s good at it. After a confrontation on the basketball court, Mark ends up in the hospital with a broken arm where he runs into Bryce, a fellow basketball player and gamer, whose dramatic drop in body temperature has landed him in the emergency room.
Forced to take a break from basketball and gaming as his arm heals, Mark becomes obsessed with Bryce and his condition but only learns that Bryce is still in an isolation room in the ICU. After returning to his regular activities, Mark finds his own body temperature dropping. Why has he just started developing these symptoms? And will he face the same fate as Bryce or find answers to the mysterious illness before it’s too late?
