The mawb introduces Josh to a virtual reality game called The Hate Train. Eventually, Josh becomes obsessed with the game, as well as its uncanny realism.As an outside presence begins to interfere with the virtual reality game, Josh's world starts to unravel, forcing him to question his own reality even after he unplugs from the highly-addictive game.
