Sasha portrays Hana, an avid gamer suffering from acute agoraphobia.

Agoraphobia is described as "fearing and avoiding places or situations that might cause panic and feelings of being trapped, helpless, or embarrassed."

The trailer kicks off with Hana being chased by a group of mutant creatures. Plot twist: It turns out she's actually in a game simulation.
Due to Hana's ongoing agoraphobia, she's spent her life mostly inside playing "game after game." So, it comes as no surprise she becomes a contender to test a new state-of-the-art software called Omnia.

What makes Omnia so special? It's supposed to calibrate with the user and decode patterns of their brain — or so it seems.
Hana obviously couldn't pass up the opportunity to find out more, and Jen is in full support of the endeavor.

It all starts as innocent fun, and Hana even wins a gaming tournament with a major cash prize.
