It''s the 1990s and all Cameron Hardy wants is to be a playwright. He arrives in Halifax as a student with big dreams and a bigger ego, but his first production goes disastrously awry. Humiliated, he changes gears after discovering he possesses a talent for the language driving the latest hot technology-the World Wide Web. Soon he is slogging away as a high-paid code monkey in the dot-com boom and longing for the literary life he has left behind. He finds solace with his equally misanthropic coworker Pauline, who is trapped in a numbing job and a loveless marriage. Only through their dialogues on life, desire and the pursuit of passion can they get back onto the scripts that reveal their truer selves.
