Bob Maconel (Christian Slater), a loner who hears his goldfish speak to him, is truly a disgruntled employee in a cubicle office environment. He's taken verbal and psychological abuse from a couple of his coworkers. He's generally just fed up with his life.
One day Bob takes a revolver to work intent on shooting several coworkers, the ones he's grown to despise, and then turn the gun on himself. But he accidently drops a bullet and when he crawls on the floor to find it, all hell breaks out in the office. The worker in the cubicle next to him had the same plan but Bob becomes a hero by shooting the other shooter.
In the frenzy, Bob realizes that Venessa (Elisha Cuthbert), a young woman he likes, was shot and seriously injured. He sets about to help her.
Meanwhile, his boss (William H. Macy) makes Bob VP of Creative Thinking -- complete with an office with window and art and plant.
Bob continues caring for the paralyzed Vanessa but she wonders if life is worth her continued living.
Others in the cast include: Jamison Jones, Sascha Knopf, Cristina Lawson, K.C. Ramsey and David Wells as coworkers and Michael DeLuise as Detective Soresonan.
This dark, dark comedy was written and directed by Frank A. Cappello.
