Blake believes his recently deceased, game show loving, Uncle Gene is asking for help from beyond the grave through the television and decides to investigate the death. Blake finds a videotape his uncle left behind and watches it hoping it contains information about his uncle’s death.
 
Instead, Blake finds himself sucked into the videotape and inserted as a character into the game show content within. Now, he’s being chased by an ancient evil entity through layers and layers of bizarrely modified game shows with one shot to save his uncle, and get them both back home before the tape ends. To do so, Blake will have to navigate razor-sharp laser lights, disembowel-happy rat-people, and machete-wielding psychotic hosts, and that’s just the first show.
 
Will Blake be able to find the real Uncle Gene before time runs out and all Hell breaks loose?
