It's the beginning of the 21th century in New York City. Hidden beneath massive office buildings and sprawling marketplaces is a small internet cafe known simply as netc@fe. Over time, it has become the favorite haunt of various outcasts and shut-ins, with a group of patrons almost as diverse as the city itself.

However, after a strange computer virus spreads across its network, its routers become infested with insects, and charred, malformed "bodies" begin to manifest in the subway station beneath it, it is up to a messy group of young adults to figure out what's going on.
