Mitch is just a regular boy until one exciting day brings him to a new exhibit at his local zoo featuring a high voltage electric eel. The janitor warns him not to get too close, but Mitch is drawn to the strange and fascinating creature. When it shocks him, it shoots him across the room. He and his dad promise not to talk about this to his mother or his sister.

When Mitch gets home, he loads the new game that he got for compensation and apology from his dad for getting electrocuted by the eel. After a little time playing, something weird happens. Mitch gets sucked into the game, and suddenly the graphics that seemed detailed down to the pixel take on a whole new level of reality. A strange boy that seemed only to be background character from the game becomes real and alive and asks Mitch for his help. It's a quest like any other in the game, but something's off, and the boy's not telling Mitch everything. All he says is that Mitch needs to rescue "her" from the dragon.

Not knowing what else to do, Mitch embarks on a long and crazy journey with the boy. Mitch has troubling worries about living inside a game, but he finds out there is a lot more going on than he thought. As they battle spiders, soldiers, and ghosts in their journey to rescue the girl and level up, they find out that not all is as it seems, and kindness sometimes helps more than violence.
