Plot
Chief Technology Officer of Zenotek in Chicago, Josh Parker, completes his divorce and reports to work. Josh and branch manager Clay Vanstone receive a call from interim CEO Carol Vanstone informing them that the company failed to reach its new quarterly quota. She makes threats to reduce bonuses, fire 40% of the company’s staff, and cancel the annual holiday party. Having recently lost their father, the former CEO, Carol and Clay are siblings.
Clay is anxious to maintain his employees and give them bonuses, but Carol, who resents Clay for being their dad’s favorite, threatens to close the branch.

Carol is informed by Josh, Clay, and Tracey Hughes, the Chief of Research and Development, that they have a meeting with business tycoon Walter Davis later in the day. As a result, Carol offers them one final chance.
Although Walter approves of the pitch, he is worried that they are more concerned with the money than their employees. Clay extends an invitation to the Christmas party in an effort to convince him that their business is solid and has a positive working environment. Carol calls Josh’s apartment as she is on her way to the airport to offer him a job working for her at the New York headquarters at twice his present wage.
