Marcos is a lonely, Argentinean computer whiz living in New York City. Marcos finds comfort in gadgets and technology networks and is isolated from most human interaction or any type of social network. In an attempt to make his way into some sort of social scene and find a balance between technology and emotion, Marcos seeks companionship by awkwardly navigating his way through the dating website MeetMeImGreat.com. He finally scores a date with Amy- a fellow 1/4 Argentinean-and naively assumes that true, life-long romance will come of this meeting.
