During his probation at Apex Tech, Brian works night after night to save a failing project, only to have his supervisor, Carter, and Ryan, a manager who happens to be the chairman's nephew, take credit for his work. Ryan humiliates him by tossing a mere $500 in his face, while Carter reminds him his mortgage is coming due and warns him he can't afford to lose his job. When the Choice System activates, Brian chooses to quit on the spot, earning $1 million and a 60% stake in rival Everwell Tech. He throws the cash in their faces and walks out, only to discover that the money has already hit his account and the acquisition is complete. Now, all he wants is some well-deserved sleep.
