Synopsis
A couple of nerds stumble upon a very detailed computer simulation, which apparently simulates people in everyday life situations. They invent a couple with a streak of bad luck and then start to try reversing the situation. It turns out that the program is more complex - it finds actual people as close to expectations as possible and actually manipulates their lives.
