Unemployment sits at close to 60 percent, and those with jobs are the new elite.Sheila Davenport owns a successful employment agency. When other agencies begin to go out of business, she attributes it to their inability to compete. Then she hears a sinister rumour: Sign with Davenport; they'll find you a job even if they have to kill someone. Two owners of two other agencies are murdered and the agency under police scrutiny. Then someone tries to kill Sheila. Aware someone at the agency is working against her, can she survive and retain control of the agency before the police close in.
