It’s 1986, the "Halt & Catch Fire" era, when the software business was even more cutthroat than it looks on HBO’s satire, "Silicon Valley". Mega Microware is on the cusp of releasing a game-changing system to destroy competitors and make the Seattle company billion$. When an assassin targets Mega’s Boy Wonder, eccentric millionaire Gil Baines Jr., his family hires retired homicide cop and computer hobbyist Olaf Starbuck to track down the predator. Starbuck’s business savvy about the industry is zilch, but he finds a skillful partner in Jane E. Antonin, a burned-out investigative reporter looking for a big scoop to reboot her career. As they dig up the tangled relationships of the industry, they uncover a legion of nutty nerds, finance felons & vengeful victims willing to do anything to win. A humorous expedition into the nerdy heart (and exposed butt-cracks) of the high-technology culture.
