==Plot== After a car accident killed his mother and permanently injured his leg, teenager Michael Brower lives an isolated existence in his absent father's house. He spends his spare time watching his neighbor and crush, Kimberly. A horror films and video games fan, Michael's only friend is a similar-minded misfit named Kyle. They are members of the school's Horror Club, which draws the principal's ire. After Kyle tells him about a new, ultra-realistic game called Brainscan, Michael receives the first disc in the mail.
