Ploy and Khing join forces to create an app for the betterment of society. It's called "Alliance" or "Ally". The app can match someone with a need to a volunteer qualified to help them. They help everyone, no matter how risky: delivering babies, donating blood, pest control, searching for friends in desolate alleys. It's all out of the goodness of their hearts until people start using it to boost their image on social media. Meanwhile, Gear and Max come together to create the underground app "FOEman"; it's the antithesis of "Ally". It matches people up to dole out punishment, from petty pranks to serious threats. Soon, the popularity of both apps gets out of control.
