About City of Golden Shadow

The not so distant future where everybody has a second life in cyberspace. A growing sub-culture of cyberfolk and cyberpunks who are spending less and less time in the physical world, and ever increasing time 'plugged in'. But there is trouble brewing. Someone or something is trapping users 'online'. A rag-tag assortment of elite cybercitizens band together to stop the invasion.
