”The days we can’t get back shine the brightest”

Set in the rural town of Arostia in the year 19XX, young go-getter Sean and his ensemble of like-minded buddies band together to form The Noogies, a hopeful gang that dream of one day striking it out on a real adventure together.

On one most frightful occasion returning home, Sean is confronted by a dastardly loan shark lying in wait.

The loan shark reveals he has imprisoned Sean’s friends and makes a ludicrous demand that outstanding debts left by his absent father must be repaid in full by the end of the day…

Despite the precarious situation, a burst of excitement erupts within Sean. Finally!

The opportunity for a true adventure! Will Sean be able to save his friends and repay the debt!?
