Baineann an scéal seo le triúr príomhcharachtar; Evan, Rio agus Cara agus tá an t-aicsean ar fad dírithe ar chluiche ríomhaireachta (SÁRÚ) atá á imirt ar uaireadóir Evan, ceann a bhfuair sé óna mham atá ag obair don chomhlacht beag Éireannach ‘Splanc’ atá ag forbairt bogearraí don chomhlacht mór Meiriceánach ‘MEGA’ (This story revolves around three main characters; Evan, Rio and Cara and all of the action centres on a computer game (SÁRÚ) that Evan plays on his watch which he got from his mum who works for ‘Splanc’, a small Irish company that develops software for a large American company called ‘MEGA’).

Aithníonn na bulaithe go bhfuil rud éicint speisialta i seilbh Evan nuair a fheiceann siad é ag imirt SÁRÚ ar a uaireadóir agus iad ar an mbus agus éiríonn siad santach chun é a bhaint de (The bullies recognises that Evan has something special in his possession when they see him playing SÁRÚ on the bus and they become eager to take it off him).

Brúnn siad iad féin isteach ar Evan bocht agus in ainneoin na rudaí atá Evan a rá gur ghnáthuaireadóir atá i gceist, tá cáil an uaireadóra agus go bhfuil duais le buachan má thig leat an cluiche a chríochnú  don chéad uair cloiste ag Crúb (They push themselves in ón Evan and in spite of Evan’s claims that it’s just an ordinary watch Crúb has heard of the watch and the fact that whoever finishes it first can win a prize.) 

Ar an deauair, feiceann an tiománaí bus céard atá ar bun ag na bulaithe agus cuireann sí ruaig orthu (Fortunately the bus driver recognises what the three bullies are up to and she bans them from the bus). Deir an tiománaí leis gur inis a ‘chara’ Meiriceánach di faoin mbulaíocht ach tá mearbhall ar Evan faoi cé hé an té sin (The driver tells Evan that his American friend told her about the bullying but Evan is at a loss as to who this potential friend is). Tá faitíos air chomh maith mar ní féidir leis a mhála a fháil agus creideann sé gur sciob na bulaithe é, rud a chiallódh go mbeadh a sheoladh baile ar eolas acu (He is also afraid becaus he cannot find his school bag and he believes that the bullies have stolen it which would mean that they now have his home address). Ansin, casann sé ar Cara agus tuigeann sé láithreach cé hé an cara Meiriceánach (Then he meets Cara and he realises who his American friend is).

Aisteach go leor, cé nach bhfuil SÁRÚ seolta ar an margadh go fóill, tá neart eolais ag Cara faoi (Strangely enough, even though SÁRÚ is not yet openly on the market, Cara seems to know an awful lot about it.) Tá a fhios aici faoi cé chomh dúshlánach is atá an cluiche; bíonn ar an imreoir fadhbanna móra an tsaoil a réiteach cosúil le fadhbanna timpeallachta, eacnamaíochta agus teitheadh agus chun bá an phobail a choinneáil leat ar feadh an ama (She knows how difficult the game is; the player has to solve all of the major world problems including environmental issues, economic problems and immigration issues, all the while keeping the public happy).

Tá Cara an-chadéiseach agus an-mhífhoighdeach le Evan agus ag iarraidh a fháil amach uaidh cén chaoi raibh éirí leis ag leibhéal a haon ‘an bhfuil leibhéal a haon deacair?’ (Cara is very impatient with Evan and also very inquisitive as she tries to find out how he is getting on in level 1 ‘is level 1 difficult?’)
