Description: It's 1995. Embarking on an adventure, Evan lands in San Francisco from Dublin with his friend, Milo. The city is on the cusp of a revolution: the Internet is booming, whilst the rave scene succeeds the old world of Deadheads dropping acid on Haight Street. He finally lands a job at ForwardSlash - a new dot com company - run by the charismatic Sam Couples, a surrogate father figure, yet the object of confused emotions for the naive Evan. Life begins to look up - until Milo's ex-girlfriend arrives, reminding him of their own brief encounter and dragging the past over with her.
