action

Carol Vanstone is the CEO of the fictional company Zenotek , where her party-hungry brother Clay runs the Chicago office. After Carol announces that he will close this branch, Clay and his technical assistant Josh and the other colleagues come up with something to save their jobs: they throw a huge Christmas party in the office in the hope of impressing a potential customer. However, the party gets completely out of hand. Inspired by a scene in the opening race of 2 Fast 2 Furious , Clay tries to jump over a bascule bridge over the Chicago River , causing a city-wide internet outage. As you have learned, the potential customer was terminated on the same day, so he had no job to place.

Josh and some employees find themselves in a completely destroyed office the next morning. However, the technician Tracey, it is possible the whole city wireless Internet access over power lines (quasi Wireless PowerLAN permit), in implementation of an idea where she had previously worked for four years. This innovation saved the branch and everyone kept their job.
