Story by Rod A White:

Naomi Chen expected another day of mediating petty complaints aboard Europa Station, until a diplomatic grievance revealed that a human laugh had been mistaken for an alien declaration of war. With a fragile peace hanging by a thread, she teams up with an aging comedian and the ambassador's rebellious daughter to prove that humor is humanity's greatest bridge, not its greatest weapon.

Story by John Leahy:

Being single in the city is difficult, especially when you and the rest of humanity is slowly transforming into petroleum-based life. Lance, an awkward New York schoolteacher, ventures into a speed-dating event where compatibility is measured as much by chemistry as by attraction, and meets Jo, a woman who sees evolution not as an ending but as an unfinished beginning.

In 2014 AMC released “Halt And Catch Fire,” (HCF) a brilliant four-season series that followed four characters and their quest to lead the future of the emerging Information Age starting from the PC revolution in the early 1980s through the coming Dotcom boom in the mid 1990s. Over the course of four seasons our characters Gordon, Donna, Cam, and Joe are each driven by a passion to explore what’s possible as well the need for connection to each other. Quite simply, HCF is the greatest show hardly anyone has ever seen.
