The novel revolves around a former game programmer and his family. His claim to fame is a fictional Atari game called Hacker Snack. Step Fletcher, a devout Mormon, moves his wife and three children (Stevie (8), Robbie (4) and Elizabeth (toddler)) cross-country from Utah to North Carolina so he can start a new job as a technical writer.
