Summer finds herself in another dimension where the inhabitants of the planet Phlegumbork have "replaced society with social media" and Skub (the planet's most popular podcaster) rules the screen-addicted populace of this world with an iron-feed. Summer reluctantly joins forces with @nextsummer (an older version of Summer and rival influencer to Skub) to start a fiery revolution to overthrow Skub, by rapidly accumulating more followers and likes.
