PlotEdit

A computer geek saves an attractive woman from a pervert on a train. A few days later he receives a thank-you note from the woman along with a set of teacups. Eager to pursue his first relationship with a woman, he signs on to an Internet BBS and asks his fellow geeks how to proceed. With their advice he goes through a personal makeover of sorts. Meanwhile, his BBS postings have inspired other social misfits to attempt to go out into the world and try some social interaction of their own.
