1989. Robby Assaro is doing what he does best, making FunCave Arcade's pizzas more edible than their default state, when his sleeve is caught on the pizza oven conveyor belt, and he dies a brutal death. But that wasn't the end for Robby. Fast forward to 2014, and this retro video arcade is still going strong as teens flock to both the new games on the main floor and the old classics on the second. What they don't know is that FunCave is now haunted by the man who died there in the 1980s. The spirit is just a friendly ghost watching over the gamers of the arcade and falling in love with the regulars, especially Tiffany Park. But when Robby tries to protect one of his favorite patrons from a bully, things quickly spiral out of control as blood and ectoplasm fly. Robby's first kill in protection of Tiffany has unintended consequences as he absorbs all of his victim's hate and rage, and he can't help what he does next as more bodies pile up and the patrons of the arcade are trapped inside.
