Two very different people. One very common enemy.
Call centres. Contact centres. Outsourcing specialists. Whatever you want to call them, they're the bane of the lives of every poor soul who earns their crust shackled by the ear to a never ending stream of faceless voices, security questions and brown nosing colleagues desperate to get off the phones. Hanging on to their sanity and their jobs as a river of crap rolls downhill from above, Barry and Penny are two such souls.
One is a born loser, HR department harasser and victim of bullying from every angle, rapidly descending into a mental pit of darkness he may never get out of. The other is a popular and attractive party girl who contracts some unwanted guests and vows sweet revenge in the wake of her rise to national notoriety. Both have an enemy in Stevie; shagger, bully, and all round bad boy.
It's only a matter of time before somebody snaps, and it's not just the customers that are paying.
A blacker than black comedy from the mastermind behind The Switched and The Dead Man Trilogy; when all that matters is your handling time and your compliance, how the hell are you going to fit in your After Call Work?
