Sinopsis:
Tyler Bradden is a gaming champion and enjoys playing the star at a convention on Fiji, where a new virtual reality sword-fight game against pirates captain Blackheart is to be presented to the public, but snooty Alison just won’t admire him »only solving mysteries impresses« while Tyler’s younger brother Marty, an incorrigible scamp who feels neglected and out-staged, pulls mercilessly clever pranks to embarrass Tyler, who was forced to drag the brat along by their absent parents. Marty even downloaded cheat-codes to defeat Tyler at the new game, but when he slips in to try them on the showcase gaming cage, accidentally breaks the machine till it creates a vortex which ends up swallowing him straight to the pirate’s ship. When Tyler, who failed to pull terror-screaming Marty out, types at random himself, he, the non-admirer and her native girlfriend Kirra are swallowed by a second vortex, landing on the Fiji beach, where Polynesian natives bring them to young chief Sol’s village. They soon conclude their only hope to get out of the game back to »their« reality is to win it by getting the villagers’ hidden treasure; shameless, smart scamp Marty chooses the pirates’ side just to spite Tyler, and the weapons feel terribly real.
