Rick toils in a soulless office, trying to keep on the good side of the Big Boss, an obnoxious 20-something named Duke. While still good for a martini, a back slap and a zinger, Rick secretly seethes inside. A chance encounter with an old college buddy takes a strange turn when the friend offers, for a price, to murder a person of Rick's choice. At first the idea of a murder scheme seems like a sick joke - until Rick learns a big secret about the Big Boss.
