This dark comedy takes place in the office of a life assurance company. It is set in New Zealand around 2010.
Gareth Burke is Destiny Life’s top agent for 3 years in a row, and wants to win the trip to Hawaii and take gorgeous receptionist Tiffany with him. But Lucille Potts is determined to be the first female agent to top the sales figures and has a supernatural plan to ensure victory. Before he can take the prize, Gareth must overcome the obstacles in his path – with an over-bearing wife, a manic-depressive corporate motivator, the police and the Inland Revenue to name a few!
