Illinois Premiere
With the impending Y2K apocalypse fast approaching, Abbie (Joshua Burge) is issued the ultimate challenge by his older brother (David Dastmalchen)--to conquer the unbeatable record set by the notorious Billy Mitchell and get past Level 256 on Pac-Man--and he can't get off the couch until he conquers it...no matter what. Abbie must survive with no food or water, and idiot friends and toxic gas getting in his face. But his secret 3D glasses begin to give him new abilities, controlling the powers of his tiny universe. A survival story set in a living room.
