Synopsis

Bass and Rick are diametrical opposites: Bass is a nerdy daydreamer with a big heart and Rick is a hyperactive tornado with dubious ethics. United by their inability to make their dreams come true, they hang out in local arcade full of pinball machines, cokes and bacon chips. But one day, their safe and predictable environment shatters when Rick stumbles on a chance to earn big money.

Death Save is about friendship, falling in love, high scores, soft drinks in glass bottles, advanced flipper machine manoeuvres and about what happens when you are forced for the first time to find your true place in the world.
