In the summer of 1994, a naïve college graduate moves to Baltimore to become a Trainee for the Fantastically Large Insurance Company (FLIC). He thinks he's got it made, until he finds out that the CEO is planning to sell the company and lay off thousands. If the Trainee can uncover the CEO's secret then he just might stop the sale, but can he prevail against brainwashing drones from Human Resources, actuaries that can predict the future, and potentially homicidal co-workers? Defying the CEO and risking his career, the Trainee launches into a quest that takes him from the building's sub-basements (a leper colony for disgraced managers) all the way to the executive floor, in this satirical look at the white-collar workplace.
