About

Twin brothers Jon and Jake have always done everything together. As kids they worked in their dad's Atlanta machine shop sweeping and mopping floors. In high school they were always in the same classes and played the same sports. They went to college together, studying mechanical engineering. Now they have a business in Atlanta building fast cars. During the day it's all about tools, ultra high-performance engines and designed tubular frames, but when work is done they go upstairs to their apartment and immerse themselves in combat video games for hours with their fireteam of fellow gamers.

On a whim they buy 200 lottery tickets for a record smashing PowerBall jackpot.

They're shocked to discover they hold the only winning ticket to a staggering 4.2 billion dollar prize. Within hours their parking lot becomes an impromptu party with coolers full of beer, ribs on a smoker grill, a remote broadcast by the local radio station and people they haven't seen in years.

Now they're looking for a new place to live, something more appropriate to their shocking new circumstances.

After an exhausting search they discover a property in Denver. The structure, a suspension design, is built into a decommissioned ICBM silo. On the first level is a movie theater and performing arts theater with a bar between them. On the second level down is a personal visitation lounge, complete with its own bar. A restaurant quality kitchen is on the third level and finally, on the lowest level, are four bedrooms. The military computer system, once used to control the weapon, has been converted to civilian use and is in the background, maintaining contact with the real estate manager offering the sale, but it’s poised to run the entire entertainment complex.

A new unexpected plan suddenly emerges. They're relocating from Atlanta to Denver and the first step is to purchase two new vehicles; a mid engine Corvette Z06 to satisfy their need for speed and a BMW sport utility for navigating snowy Denver roadways. A local member of their fireteam, the instigator of the party that took over their parting lot, is helping with the move by driving a U-haul car carrier transporting the BMW in their cross-country road trip.
