When college freshman Zach Taylor (Titus Makin Jr., aGleea and aA Cinderella Story: Once Upon A Songa) lands a scholarship to the prestigious Digital Institute of Game Design led by billionaire gaming icon Marcus Bentton (Tom Nowicki, aThe Blind Sidea), his future takes a promising turn. That is, as long as he can survive the infamous freshmen project that eliminates more than half of the class within the first three months.
Teamed up with determined group leader Sara, (Dana De La Garza, aKnight Ridera) and his brilliant, yet socially awkward, roommates, Phillip (Nathan Kress, aiCarlya) and Donald (Adam Cagley, aThe Suite Life of Zack and Codya and aGood Luck Charliea), the four set out to involve the entire campus in a quirky new social interactive game. As the project intensifies, Zach learns that his widowed father is in financial trouble. Distracted and desperate to help, he accepts an opportunity to work with Bentton on a secretive and suspicious side project that seems too good to be true.
Zach finds himself stretched to his limits and torn between his responsibility to the team and his desire to help his father. With nowhere else to turn, he confides in Professor Abbie Lambert (Lea Thompson, currently on aSwitched at Birtha and best known for aBack to the Future,a and aCaroline in the City,a and she is in the recently released aJ. Edgara) and is forced to make a decision that will affect his future and the lives of everyone around him.
"I thought this movie was really appealing to the whole family,a said Lea Thompson. aIt has become harder and harder to find shows on TV that parents and their kids can enjoy watching together, so I was excited to participate in this project and help bring more quality entertainment to families with this movie.a
