Bruno loved his job as a middle manager at a paper company, but optimistically views being laid off as an opportunity. After two years of searching for a comparable position, optimism turns to desperation. His wife works two jobs, and their marriage slowly deteriorates as their hold on the middle class slips away. Bruno concocts a grimly audacious plan to identify and kill his fellow job applicants so that he is the only qualified person left.

Having lost an arm in the explosion he caused while attempting to bring his recently deceased mother back to life, Chris Burst, a young laboratory assistant, finds shelter in the house of a dealer to his friends.
