Crime-scene photographer Michael Kapinsky is a man whose life is in a mess. But his second life is about to get a whole lot messier. Struggling with the recent death of his wife, Michael is persuaded by his psychologist to participate in a new kind of group therapy by entering a virtual world called Second Life. Once there, Michael discovers that murder is not just confined to the real world. Victims whose crime scenes he has attended have also been executed in the virtual world. Under his new alter ego, Michael embarks on an investigation with escort girl Doobie Littlething. Together they uncover a series of killings and a financial scam that is netting the murderer millions. But when Michael is tempted by the money that mysteriously appears in his Second Life account, both his real and his virtual lives are put in danger.
