The story centers around the Hadley family, who live in a high-tech house that caters to their every need, including a virtual reality nursery that can create any environment the children imagine. As the parents, George and Lydia Hadley, become increasingly concerned about their children's obsession with the nursery, they realize that the virtual world is becoming more dangerous.
