Storyline Things are not going too well for Jai Katragantala, Senior Programmer Analyst from India locked away at the Immigration detention center in Newark, New Jersey. He has been thrown in the lam for several serious documentation violations. A stroke of luck gets Jai selected for a parole contest initiated by the US government to improve their image world-wide. At stake for Jai is his freedom and a chance to unite with Rukki, his childhood sweetheart. Anchor and anti-immigration evangelist Drew Droblin tries his best to give Jai a bum steer. But the Indian programmer is surprisingly good. Through flash-backs we get insights into how Jai got into a tight spot. We are introduced to the world of H1B programmers, and consulting. (Body shopping if you want to use the pejorative word.) In the end it is left to the reader to decide if Jai will be idealistic and altruistic or practical and worldly wise. It is a screenplay with alternate endings.
