In May 2016, David Atkinson was in Wexford and very fed up. Life had been a bit of a whirlwind: he had graduated from college, worked on TV, helped run a comedy club but now things were grinding to a halt. The work wasn't coming in and he reckoned his career needed a jump start.
So, he decided to get out - out of Wexford, and out of Ireland.
Ah the US graduate visa! A time of frivolous fun – not a care in the world! Yeah right!
David Atkinson, a cocky, 22-year old goes to New York expecting the roads to be paved with gold and opportunity on every corner. But the roads are paved over and the opportunities are few.
It’s sink or swim as David tries to navigate the tumultuous work of Trump, trains and training visas. And the clock is ticking – he has 90 days to get an internship or be on the next flight home. Can he do it?
