Being a guild leader is tough. Being a dad is the ultimate quest.
Blaine gave up his old glory days of playing MMORPGs with his buddies for the wonderful job of being a solo dad. But some days, he would rather slay some goblins, destroy a boss, and feast in a tavern - without having to do the dishes later.
What better way to get back into gaming than with family? A brand-new game comes out on the market, and it’s perfect to play with the kids: Seconds-Over. A new video game unlike any other, where every moment matters. Even just sitting and breathing can level up stats in the game! But like reality, you can’t sit and rest while your kids are running around and stirring up trouble with every monster's nest.
When his six-year-old collects a cute, little flower crown, it triggers a boss that sends Blaine and his family on a timed quest to unlock a legendary class. If Blaine can get it, he can relive the excitement of his old streaming and player-versus-player tournament days. Back to when people recognized him and wanted to watch his fighting skills. But to earn this class, he and the kids, with their unique problem solving skills, will have to uncover the truth about the guardian who once held the class.
With the clock ticking, other guilds fighting them for this epic prize, and real-life parenting to do, Blaine will have to rely on his family and friends to achieve his goals. Not just building a community, but building up his kids and using the world of the game to prepare them for the harshest world of all - reality.
