With her enchanted tablet, Spark, Stella can navigate data streams, solve puzzles, and outsmart digital dangers. One day, Stella's friend Kai loses his game account after falling for a fake email promising a legendary dragon. Stella realizes it's the work of the Phishing Phantoms, who trick people into giving away personal information. Stella and Kai enter the Digital Realm, now dark and murky due to the Phishing Phantoms. They meet Glimmer, an App Sprite, who explains that the Phantoms are stealing data to control the realm.
