Plot summary
Billy McMahon and Nick Campbell sell watches until the company they work for folds. Billy applies for a summer internship at Google for both of them. Their unusual interview answers get them accepted even though they have no experience in the field, and they are the only interns who are not of college age. Over the summer they compete with other interns, called Nooglers, in a series of tasks; only the winning team is promised jobs. Billy and Nick land with interns the others see as rejects: Stuart, who is absorbed in his phone, Yo-Yo Santos, schooled at home by an overbearing mother, and Neha. Lyle, a manager who tries to seem hip, leads the team. Graham Hawtrey, another intern, bullies them, and Mr. Chetty, who runs the program, doubts the older men can manage it.
