From back cover: UltraMax is the new orbiting prison for ultraviolent offenders. When the X-Men learn that their former teammate Longshot is among the prisoners of UltraMax, Rogue goes undercover to try to liberate him.

Meanwhile, the Beast has discovered a new virtual reality game that turns out to be a little too real and the game seems to be related to the disappearance of several teenagers. And Wolverine has been conducting an investigation into UltraMax on his own...

Soon the X-Men discover the deadly secret force behind both UltraMax and the VR game: Mojo, the insane, other-dimensional villian whose idea of entertainment is both visionary and deadly. Trapped behind prison walls and inside a computer game from which there may be no escape, the X-Men face their most terrifying threat ever!
