Durch das Spiel lernt sie das selbstbewusste Party-Girl Tess kennen und freundet sich auch im realen Leben mit ihr an. Als Tess auf mysteriöse Art und Weise verschwindet, übernimmt Leila alias „Shadowfax“ kurzerhand ihr virtuelles Alter Ego „Mania“ und begibt sich auf die Suche nach Antworten. Dabei erfährt sie immer mehr über die dunklen Geheimnisse ihrer Freundin.
Kiss Me First moves between the real and virtual animated worlds. When Leila stumbles across Red Pill, a secret paradise, hidden on the edges of her favourite game, she meets Tess. Tess is everything that Leila is not: hedonistic, impulsive and insatiable. So when Tess turns up in Leila's real life uninvited, Leila's world is forever changed. But then a member of the group mysteriously disappears and Leila begins to suspect that maybe the hidden sanctuary isn't the digital Eden its creator Adrian claims it to be. Now, Leila's real journey begins.
