Nine Dragons Belly Up

It's the summer of 1999 and dotcom mania is burning through money, talent and lives. Brian Tyler has just been hired at a mysterious new Hong Kong start-up called Nine Dragons. It all looks good on paper, but Brian has only been sober for a week, doesn't know anything about the Internet and his boss is wanted on murder charges in Belarus.

"Nine Dragons Belly Up" traces the rocket ride that Brian takes aboard the Nine Dragons juggernaut while attempting to resurrect his shattered life. In a sudden cascade of events, he confronts love, betrayal, addiction and a life-or-death challenge.
