Focusing on a 40-year-old sales rep, Bruno, who suffers unbearable pressure at the hands of his tyrannical boss, the film begins by revealing just how stressful the job is when a co-worker commits suicide after being lambasted during a meeting. Next we follow Bruno as he makes his rounds to various pharmacies and doctor's offices, which he showers with free iPads and trips abroad in exchange for the promise that they’ll push his company Zafer’s latest product.
