A human form of the algorithm causes trouble for a young woman looking for love.
A young woman named Maggie can’t believe her eyes when BIG AL shows up one day as if from nowhere. He’s a human form of the algorithm, hailing directly from her phone. When he magically offers her everything she wants, before she might even want it, she simply can’t turn away. So when her big date with Lewis arrives Maggie looks to BIG AL to fill a simple request delightfully suggested by her roommate, Brenda. It’s going to be the perfect night and Maggie will finally show Lewis that she’s ready to take their relationship to the next level. Will BIG AL come through… or does the algorithm have plans of his own?
