Game OverThe Smashenburns are a typical suburban family…if those suburbs happen to be in the realm of video games. Rip Smashenburn is a race car driver who repeatedly makes narrow escapes from disastrous crashes, while his wife Raquel raids tombs full-time, and their kids Alice and Billy long for some kind of normalcy. Rip feels this could be solved with the addition of a family pet, but when the family adopts a raucous dog-like creature named Turbo, he quickly proves to be too much trouble to keep – and too much trouble to get rid of.
