Darcy, Samuel, and Bailey live in a world of advanced technology which allows people to briefly pause their life, forget it, and live out a different one. Every day the children of their world enter into a program called Earth, where they experience decades of life in just a few hours. Using these machines as teaching tools the children learn how to live their actual lives to their fullest potential, even if the only way out of them is by dying over and over again inside the program.
