It’s 1988 and the arcade is the place to be. A quartet of friends, headed by rockstar wannabe Robbie Skinner, are three years deep into their obsession with the hack-and-slash dungeon-crawler, Gauntlet, when they notice that the horrors of this virtual world are beginning to seep into reality. Robbie and his companions must navigate all of the usual struggles that come with fresh adulthood, from jumbled sexualities to wrestling with the workforce, all the while trying to garner the strength, skills and magic of their characters so that they can save their town from the spread of digital darkness.
