Why is it that no one wants to see a hot guy succeed?!!!?

This is the story of the three best friends, lead by Bell Air Boy Boss Sean Rad. They created Tinder and became the coolest millennials in LA, hosting parties with Jason Derulo and Kristen Doute and preparing their bank accounts for an influx of cash after being acquired by Match.com.

Soon, their viral app would be swiped from under them.
