Plot

Frank (Justin Long), a crooked insurance lawyer goes out with his co-worker, Jeff (Donald Faison). Jeff and Frank meet Natalie (Katia Winter) and Theresa (Sheila Vand) who take them to a party. It is there that Aeolus (Tommy Flanagan) gives Frank and Theresa a mystery drug.

Frank wakes up alone in the house the next morning; he is still high and he has to go to an important meeting at work in that state. He discovers his wallet is missing and someone has used his credit cards. Frank and Jeff learn that Theresa has been lost. Sixteen hours later.[3]

gollark: I think WiFi now has a bunch of AP-side coordination mechanisms for higher throughput, which might be hard to decentralize.
gollark: Oh, wait, there is another issue, actually.
gollark: We have experimental self-organizing mesh networks already, and modern networking hardware is fairly powerful and cheap. Although I don't know how good the mesh stuff is at dealing with really fast re-peering, which is necessary in practice.
gollark: No, those are basically already solved, the incentives are difficult.
gollark: Anyway, I doubt this problem is *impossible*, but it seems *hard*.
