Back in 1984, Peter Case was on his way to winning the four ''Swordquest'' contests and earning a $50,000 sword. But then UsefulNotes/TheGreatVideoGameCrashOf1983 happened, the fourth ''Swordquest'' game and contest never happened, and nobody won the sword. Fast forward to the present, where Peter learns that he's got degenerative lung disease and has less than a year to live. When his apartment building burns down, forcing him to move back in with his mother, he finds his old Swordquest paraphernalia and is inspired to track down and steal the lost sword.
