Dexter has hardly slept in days. His life is falling apart. His parents are divorcing. He is weeks behind schedule with work and something strange is happening with his television. Dexter works for the video game world record organization Parallel Universes and he has more VHS tapes of player scores than he can handle.
When Dexter drifts off while watching a high score attempt, he finds the game has come to life and he is in the middle of a new 8-Bit reality. It’s 1983 and a series of strange events are about to rock Dexter’s small Northwestern town.
