“Ruthless Men And Ambitious Women... Clawing For Control Of A Billion Dollar Empire!!!”

Drama

To eliminate internal opposition, a cruel CEO sabotages and humiliates a good-natured executive in an effort to force his resignation — and make the reticent new hire his new yes man.

VIBE

A chillingly precise look at corporate maneuvering. It feels like watching a chess game where the pieces are people, and the stakes are careers and reputations. The tension simmers beneath a veneer of professional courtesy.
