Since she and her roommate are about to be evicted from their apartment for nonpayment she becomes desperate and hacks into the opening ceremony of the Warcross championship, which is like the Olympics where the best of the best at Warcross compete for cash and prizes. She catches her bounty but another bounty hunter called it in that they had caught them first so even though she is the one that turns the bounty over she doesn't get the reward money. The bounties she takes on are for the police who are searching for disreputable characters in Warcross, a virtual reality which has taken the world by storm (think the OASIS from Ready Player One). She becomes a bounty hunter to try to pay the bills and the book starts with her going after a high value bounty. Emika is living in NYC struggling to make ends meet after the death of her father.
