A giant Atari gaming cartridge attacks the heart of downtown Denver, causing mass destruction by bringing classic games to life.
Trains turn into giant centipedes, citizens must cross busy roads by jumping across the tops of moving cars, and vehicles levitate over the city, shooting electricity at the people below. It's up to Jimmy Toledo, Chuck E. Cheese employee and former gaming prodigy, to fight back against the games. But first he must overcome his crippling social anxiety, the crushing memory of his past failures, and his worthlessness as a human being.
Does Jimmy have the skillz to save the girl from the Donkey Kong game and reach the final level-the kill screen?
