He is precisely what he was expected to aspire to be. But after a particularly carnivorous exchange with a vendor, Tom realizes he has become his own worst fear: a bully. Long-suppressed childhood trauma resurfaces as Tom struggles to regain a sense of empathy and compassion when faced with the maniacal need to satisfy his superiors and the shareholders they represent. Tom comes to question the very nature of the cold, calculating world of corporate America, wondering: Is it possible to succeed in business without sacrificing one's humanity?
