PARTICLE is a multi-dimensional coming-of-age story set in the world of elite gaming. Cora, a physics-loving teenager, has always been her twin brother Seth’s online gaming sidekick... until she makes an unexpected move while they’re streaming live together. Suddenly Cora finds herself internet-famous... and not at all sure that she likes it (and, surprise—Seth feels the same way). Our heroine finds herself launched from her family home in Roswell NM into the special world of Team Origin, an esports team of talented misfits. While she anxiously tries to find her footing, Seth faces challenges of his own — he’s sick. Very sick. Pulled in opposite directions, our twins try to find how to stay connected to each other while also surrendering to their own individual destinies. Will Cora meet her team’s expectations and help them win the high-pressure Interglow championships? And what does this mean for her twin brother, the one left behind, who finds himself facing a very different future? At its heart, ‘Particle’ is a story about connection, separation, time & space...and most importantly, the transcendent power of love.
