'Meet Rodney Fickle (Isaac Moody) a twenty something with nothing but a large collection of game consoles, an impressive Gamer-Score, a dead end office job and the uncanny ability to make an idiot of himself while trying to win back the love of his ex-girlfriend Marie (Susie McCann).

'Faced with the drudgery of his day to day routine Rodney soon decides that it’s time to do something with his life. Pushed by his best friend and work colleague, Dave (Ben Williams) Rodney leaves his office job behind to pursue a career in the highly competitive, highly lucrative field of Professional Video Gaming. Rodney soon finds himself battling through the ranks of the gaming world towards the ever coveted ‘Online Athlete’ title against his old nemesis Eric (Kane Sarota) and his Guild.

'Will Rodney be able to win the ‘Online Athlete’ title, fend off Eric and his crew and keep his friendships with Dave and Marie intact? Follow Rodney Fickle as we explore humor and heartwarming sentiment in this independently produced, unique blend of Documentary and Cinema looking at love, life and video games.'
