Isolated by a disfiguring injury since the age of 17, Sean Phillips crafts imaginary worlds in which strangers may play together. From his small apartment in southern California, he orchestrates fantastic adventures where possibilities, both dark and bright, open in the boundaries between the real and the imagined. As the creator of Trace Italian, Sean guides players from around the world through his intricately imagined terrain, which they navigate and explore. But when two high school students from Florida take their play into the real world, disaster strikes.
