Nobody has more confidence in the abilities of marketing executive T. John Dick than TJ himself. So when a bizarre series of events lands him in the hot seat at SuperPumps, Inc., he soon sets about firing anyone interfering with his ability to focus on the big picture by getting on his nerves. But even he is shaken by the treachery that puts SuperPumps in mortal danger. Maybe he shouldn't have fired everyone who could help him in his hour of need!
