Synopsis
High school was a time a lot of us would probably like to forget. That holds especially true for Blake Martin, who is still living through it. With one real friend and a local celebrity for an older brother, Blake is content with fading into darkness, being left alone, and occupying his time with the hottest video game of the moment. His real world potential had become reality in a virtual world. But that desire to squeeze through the cracks until he could get to a college where no one knew his family name was cut short one fateful afternoon...

After failing miserably at football tryouts -- in front of the girl he had a crush on, as well as every popular kid in high school -- Blake inadvertently turns the table on some bullies who are out to get their hands on the last two freshmen up for initiation. After a lung burning run through town, Blake stumbles upon an antique store. Inside, a shopkeeper promises to change Blake’s life forever. He hands Blake a package, containing a very special video game system. But that’s where the cliché high school tale stops.

When the system is plugged in, and Blake and his friend, Ricky Bravo, finally turn the system on, the amazing video game lives up to exactly what the shopkeeper said it would; it changes his life forever. The video game comes to life. As digital bad guys of every type begin climbing out of his television set, the kid who would rather hide in the face of danger has to step up, and put himself in a dangerous situation. As the system links up with every TV set in town, creating hordes of video villains, Blake, his older brother Colin, Ricky, and the cute girl Blake has a crush on, Jessica Jensen, have to save the town before it’s overrun.
