Hard-driven, foul-mouthed, beyond abrasive cynical loner Ted Ricker (Michael Keaton) is the top salesman for Bineview and is based in NYC. He’s assigned to break in the new man, Jaime Bashant (Brendan Frasier), an apparent hot shot sales rep from Ohio. Jaime is a sweet, gentle, nerdy fellow.
Jaime just can’t make a sale and his job is in jeopardy. When Ted meets Jaime’s fiancé Belisa (Amber Valletta) he suddenly softens. They begin a steamy affair. While he starts letting his sales go because he’s so involved with Belisa, Jaime becomes as abrasive, driven and foul-mouthed as Ted had been.
Also appearing is Daniel Stern as the sales manager.
This is a very dark dramedy with a completely unexpected ending.
Written and directed by Michael Caleo.
