Jared, who was plugged in and had just entered the Virtual Reality (VR) game, was sucked into another world-- assumingly, the game world that held a strong resemblance to his original world aside from several differences. Similar to the original world, there was a deadly flu-like virus that was being spread. The pandemic resulted in many deaths and after months, several types of vaccines were finally cultivated.
