A Shock to the System

  • Log in or register to post comments

In the fast-paced corporate world of New York, a once-brilliant and ambitious middle-aged advertising executive finds himself trapped in the monotony of his work life. Overwhelmed by the drudgery and mediocrity of his job, he begins to feel that his life is falling apart. But everything changes when he is forced to deal with a new and charismatic colleague who threatens to overshadow his career and ruin his status.

Frustrated and feeling irreparably insignificant, he makes a drastic decision that will change the course of his life: to eliminate, in an unexpected way, those who stand in his way. With a dark sense of humor, he embarks on a series of increasingly extreme and absurd acts, convinced that the only way to regain his power and self-esteem is through drastic measures.

As his actions become bolder, he finds himself caught in a dangerous game where crime and paranoia intertwine. His life spirals into madness, where morality blurs and the line between triumph and ruin rises ever higher. With his personal life also crumbling, he questions whether it is truly worth fighting for what he once longed for. In a society that sees him as just another number on the payroll, the question remains: who is really the monster turned hunter?
