Plot
Charlie Colburn (Nate Richert) is a video game tester with a troubled past. One day, he receives a new console to test in the mail. This system, the Gamebox 1.0, is like no other system he's seen before: by tapping into the cerebral cortex of the brain, it literally immerses the player in a virtual reality world, killing them if they lose. The game draws on his memories, so the heroine is modeled after his dead girlfriend (Danielle Fishel), and the villain is the dirty cop (Patrick Kilpatrick) who murdered her. He has to play through three different games to win: Crime Spree, Zombie Land and Alien Planet.
