When a traumatised boy who barely speaks is about to be committed, his brother must run him across the country to a video-game championship.

Longer logline

When a nine-year-old who has hardly spoken since his twin sister drowned is about to be put in an institution, in a world where a arcade tournament is offering fifty thousand dollars to whoever is best at the machines, the half-brother who smuggles him out of the house must get him across three states to California, before their parents, a bounty hunter and their last few dollars catch up with them.
