Can You Hold Please?

34-year-old Marx is a college graduate with a 10K student loan debt. His friend, Howard introduces him to a unique investment opportunity with a Pen start-up company. To become an Investor, Marx has to be debt-free by January 8.

Howard volunteers to pay half of the loan, but, Marx refuses, since he’s been recently making more money as a Freelance Illustrator while working a temp job. On January 8, he calls 24 Hour Hold Loans to pay off the bill, but, he’s met by a rude, unprofessional Telemarketer, Matthew Garson.

During the call, Marx is offered 10K for the poor customer service. He’s instructed to remain on the line in order to collect the money. Throughout the phone call, Marx experiences delays and stalling tactics from Matthew Garson to prevent him from winning.

Marx struggles to keep his cool. During the call, he has to accompany ex-classmate Cyril’s baby sister, Carmen to a High School Fair, the temp agency needs a replacement worker for a convention and witnesses criminal activity in social media involving Carmen and one of the start-up Founders.

Nevertheless, the prospect of losing 10K to a terminated phone call due to a low charged tablet wears on his mind. Will Marx be able to collect the money?
