Fired from a job he hated at a company he loved, videogame designer Paul
Reynolds is drowning his sorrows in late-morning margaritas when he
meets an alluring, pink-haired conwoman named Chloe. With her gang of
technopirate friends, Chloe helps Paul not only take revenge on his
former employers, but also extort a small fortune from them in the
process. What more could a recently unemployed, over-worked videogame
designer in Silicon Valley ask for?
In return for Chloe's help, Paul agrees to create counterfeit comic
books for one of her crew's criminal schemes. In the process he falls in
for their fun loving, drug fueled "off the grid" lifestyle almost as
fast as he falls head over heels for Chloe. Wary of the Crew's darker
side, but eager to impress both the girl and the gang, Paul uses his
game design expertise to invent a masterful con of his own. If all goes
according to plan, it will be one for the ages. But can he trust any of
them, or is he the one who's really being conned?
Inspired by author Rick Dakan's own eventful experiences in the
videogame and comic book industries, Geek Mafia, satisfies the hunger
in all of us to buck the system, take revenge on corporate America, and
live a life of excitement and adventure.
