Synopsis

Gary Leger thought life after college would bring great things. Instead, he's stuck in a dead-end job and finding that the real world isn't all it's cracked up to be.

But when he walks into the woods behind his house one day, Gary finds a world beyond the "real world"—a realm of elves and dwarfs and witches and dragons. There he discovers that he is the only one who can wear the armor of the land's lost hero—and wield a magical spear.

And if he doesn't, he can never go home again.
