Good Game, Well Played

It's 1999 - A group of friends who band together to save their favorite video game store. It's 2009 - It's time to say goodbye.

It’s 2009, and Sienna is really not looking forward to flying back into her hometown to say goodbye to one of the people she called family.

Though that feels like a lifetime ago. It’s 1999. And Sienna is looking forward to what is shaping up to be the perfect summer in her perfect life. She has a job working in the local video game store, Game Champ, with her four best friends, and that was how it was going to be forever… Until Jason Silver, the money-hungry landlord threatens to shut the store down. The kids must work together to save it, but with Art’s huge crush on Sienna, Jo’s crippling self-doubt, Sid’s obsession with his band, and Hope’s mysterious living situation getting in the way… how likely are they to succeed?
