About
Promised futures disappear before they start when the tech industry lay-offs begin. Three students stuck without plans after graduation scramble to find a solution. They create a web-site to show recruiters for an industry filled with people looking for work. Their creation, a matchmaking web-site called WAABANG, has a special theme. It features profiles of people who have saved lives. Firefighters, prison guards, and ordinary citizens make up the people on the site. These different people are followed as they save lives and begin their search for their mate. The studentsa project gains attention as a novelty and proves to be too much work. They hire Jake Bullough as a researcher whose ideas turn their project into one possible future. Will their project stand up to the numerous copies that appear when they gain attention? How can three inexperienced students create a future in an industry where companies fail not only because of the competition but from their own decisions?
