Derek Fallon gets the chance of a lifetime--to participate in a gaming company focus group and to test out a new video game called Arctic Ninja. Together with his friends Carly, Matt, and Umberto, Derek thinks his gaming talents will be showcased. But he soon realizes that everyone has got him beat, including whiz kid El Cid.
