This entertaining film is about lonely, young Davey (Henry Thomas) who is known for making up stories. Davey has his own computer and while playing his favorite video game, "Cloak and Dagger," discovers a plot to smuggle U.S. secret information. He tells his father Hal (Dabney Coleman), but Hal doesn't believe him and thinks that, once more, Davey is living out his fantasies. Davey enlists the aid of his imaginary friend Jack Sprat (also played by Coleman), but Jack cannot help this time. Now, Davey turns to his friend Kim (Christina Nigra) and they find themselves involved with real agents and crooks–all because a microchip is hidden in Davey's video game cassette.
