Plot summary
Steve sells doorknobs and has dreamed since childhood of working a mine; underground he uncovers the Orb of Dominance along with the Earth Crystal, and the two open a portal into the Overworld, where the terrain is made of cubes that can be reshaped. In Chuglass, Idaho, Garrett Garrison, once a video game champion, runs a failing game store. A storage auction brings him Steve's old belongings. Henry and Natalie move to town after their mother dies, and meet Dawn, a real estate agent who keeps a mobile petting zoo. Henry's experimental jetpack damages a potato chip factory mascot, and to avoid expulsion he pays Garrett to pretend to be his uncle. Henry joins the Orb and Crystal at the store; Natalie and Dawn follow him and Garrett to the mine, and all four are pulled through the portal.
