The Story
Ollie Mathews, is the well meaning but somewhat arrogant co-founder of BestFly, a high tech, millennial laden tech company. When his partner engineers a coup against him, he finds himself kicked out of the company and on the streets with nothing but the shirt on his back. Broken and broke, he swallows his pride and takes a job as a barista at a local coffee shop where he is embraced by the mutli-cultural and multi-aged patrons. At first, he is depressed and bemoans his situation, but over time, he finds himself inspired by his new friends to begin work on a new technology idea. With little to no money and a motley team assembled from coffee shop patrons, Ollie takes on his former company to discover whether he has found a better way to go digital.
