Press Start
In high school, Beth Evans had her eyes on the prize: gaming trophies, a popstar-calibre future husband, and at least a C on her math test.
As an adult, Beth has levelled up: She’s producing live-streams, enjoying single life, and shamelessly blowing her paycheque on boba milk teas.
Until one day, a secret admirer emerges from Beth’s past, triggering a glitch in her pixel-perfect matrix.
