Description

When Neil Andertol and eleven other video-gaming whizzes download classified military training software, they are recruited by the Air Force to complete a mission gone wrong. Suddenly the nerdy dozen aren't playing for points—they're playing to save the world! Neil Andertol is a hero, but only in the virtual world where he plays under the name ManofNeil. In his favorite game, he pilots a super-stealth fighter jet that can go invisible at the highest level. In real life, Neil is still bullied by his classmates. However, everything changes when Neil and his gaming friends accidentally download top-secret military software and are recruited to restore a failed aircraft mission. As they transition from playing for points to playing to save the world, they must use their gaming skills in a real-life action-packed scenario.
