Parker and his crew of delivery drivers have perfected the art of avoiding work and maximizing video game time. Their comfortable routine of slacking off gets shattered when they receive an assignment to transport a package labeled "classified" to a planet that makes their previous runs look like grocery trips. The destination proves more lethal than anything these gamers have encountered, even in their most challenging virtual worlds. Parker and his team of misfits must transform their gaming reflexes and questionable teamwork into actual survival skills. Their mission becomes a desperate fight to stay breathing while completing a delivery that could determine their fate. The crew discovers that real danger demands more than button mashing and energy drinks.
