Requiem for a Game

This gritty episode, set in a seedy sushi bar on Maple City's lower east side, intricately links the lives of two video-game junkies (Ched Harley and Hudson Stiles) and a desperate boy-band fanatic (Bitzi Brewbots). As the line between want and need begins to blur for these young adolescents, their responsibilities and relationships start to fade into the background. Requiem for a Game is a hypnotic tale of three teenaged kids, each lured into a world from which they cannot escape. Even as Hudson loses the girl, Ched the grades and Bitzi her sanity, they refuse to let go, plummeting into a gut-wrenching free-fall that delivers a wild mix of rebellious action and unexpected hilarity.
