Anarchist impresario Leo wages war on Bay Area Big Tech with his guerrilla art organization, the Chaos Order. After being arrested for sabotaging the XR game company HERE's property, Leo's closest followers, Evan and Lydia, take two different paths.

Evan joins HERE to avoid legal consequences and to bring the spirit of the Chaos Order to the world through a revolutionary immersive narrative game. Meanwhile, Lydia plunges deeper into her relationship with the increasingly unstable Leo, whose desire for revenge against Evan pulls the Order into rising conflict with HERE.

Told from Evan's and Lydia's alternating points of view, Zone Trip navigates Leo's psychological manipulation of his followers, Evan's defection to the enemy's side, and the devastating consequences of Lydia's love for the Pan-like Leo.

Inspired by insider knowledge of the Suicide Club, the Cacophony Society, and the early Burning Man movement, Zone Trip uncovers the secret history behind the sparkle.
