One fake hero. Infinite real bullets. Zero extra lives.
First Commander Jack Splatt was the Rambo-like star of a defunct '80s video game that nobody played, except for lonely, geeky Barry Lang. Now a game developer (and still an obsessed fanboy), Barry is trying to bring his childhood hero to life -- literally -- through a new, cutting-edge augmented reality AI platform.
But when the Army comes knocking to seize Barry's tech, he panics and activates the only working build of the untested program. On himself. That's when Jack takes the wheel and starts doing what he does best: fighting the bad guys.
With Barry's body. While Barry is still in there.
Barry's a far cry from a powerhouse of physical perfection, and Jack's not the sharpest tool in the shed. But somehow they have to work together and stay ahead of the military, the police, and random bikers and FBI agents Jack keeps pissing off along the way...
If only Barry could make Jack understand that if you die in real life, you don't get any restarts.
