At the center of the storm are two childhood friends and their quest for the American dream. Armed with ideas for a website and a business plan, they approach investors, and their vision quickly become a reality. Soon their company is worth millions of dollars with hundreds of employees. However, this dream is short-lived when reality come crashing down around them. The harsh economy, technical difficulties, and copy cat competition chip away at their world, leaving a trail of broken promises.
