David is a freshly minted NYU grad who's working a not-quite-entry-level job, falling in love, and telling his parents he's studying for the LSAT. He starts a Tumblr blog, typing out posts on his BlackBerry under his desk--a blog that becomes wildly popular and brings him to the attention of major media ("The New York Times") as well as the White House.
